Count the syllables. CT will remind children what a syllable is and provide a list of words on the board. Children will count how many syllables there are and record on their whiteboards. CT will provide children with three types of chocolate (number 1, 2 and 3) and a blind fold. In pairs one child will be blindfolded and the other will pass the chocolate for the children to try.
