PHONEME SEGMENTATION GAMES AND ACTIVITIES<br />
• Count the separate sounds in words<br />
ACTIVITY 19: Hopscotch<br />
Use a modified hopscotch frame to help the<br />
children practise segmenting words into<br />
phonemes. This activity can be played in pairs or<br />
small groups.<br />
This activity can be used with words that are<br />
difficult to represent in pictures, although<br />
phoneme picture cards may be used if desired.<br />
Select from those on pages 32–35 and page 47.<br />
Say a word or ask the children to take turns<br />
to select a picture from a stack placed on the<br />
floor.<br />

The child says the word, segments it<br />
into phonemes and counts the number. The child then hops and jumps along the<br />
frame, saying each sound as they move from one number to the next. The action of<br />
segmenting can be repeated as the child returns to the start.<br />
The next child has a turn and this continues until all the picture cards or words have<br />
been used up.<br />
Some words with six phonemes include dinosaur, backpack, snowman, violin, domino,<br />
strand, strength, sprint, splint, script and scrimp.<br />
• Count the separate sounds in words<br />
ACTIVITY 20: Phoneme spin<br />
Re-use the picture cards of words with between two and five phonemes on<br />
pages 32–35 and page 47. The spinner is provided on page 48 and an optional<br />
recording sheet is on page 49.<br />
This game can be played in pairs or small groups.<br />
To play the game, select two of each of the different numbered phoneme picture<br />
cards—two pictures of words with two phonemes, two with three, two with four and two<br />
with five. Place these face up in 2 rows of four.<br />
The children take turns to spin the spinner to identify a number. They then select a<br />
picture showing a word with the corresponding number<br />
of phonemes. They say the word, and segment it into<br />
phonemes.<br />
The game continues with the next child taking a turn until all<br />
the cards have been selected.<br />
(If teachers wish to extend the activity, they can ask the<br />
children to use the recording sheet on page 49. The<br />
child draws a picture of the object selected in the box<br />
corresponding to the number of phonemes in the word.<br />
Additional sheets may need to be photocopied depending<br />
on the number of turns each child has.)<br />
