What a fun way to practice segmenting words into syllables! Engage learners by using their own names, spoken by Mico the puppet (or one of your favorites). Mico announces names slowly, syllable by syllable. If scholars have a single-syllable first name, he uses middle or last names (this also keeps them on their toes). Once they recognize their names, they stand. Extend the objective by also naming an object in the room for the standing pupil to point to. Also, you could assign a skilled learner to be the puppeteer for a round.
