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 />
