Fun Kindergarten Syllable Activities including a Free Valentine’s Day Worksheet Set

Post by Rebecca Reid Leave a Comment

One of the keys to beginning reading is understanding the parts of words, including syllable breaks. For my beginning reader, I made a Valentine’s Day themed syllable practice set to practice hearing the “beats” in the words. We also played with syllable clip cards for fun as well. Teach syllables by count syllables in familiar objects. Fun activities for further syllable counting practice.

Teaching Syllables in Kindergarten with Animal Valentines

Count the Beats: Valentine’s Day is four fun animal and Valentine’s Day themed worksheets. Two of them provide pictures of animals. Students draw a line from the animal to the number of heart beats (syllables) that are in it. The last two page provides images and the student circles the number of syllables, from 1 to 3 and 1 to 4.

My daughter loved the adorable Valentine’s the animals held. But she also loved that she could easily figure out the number of syllables too.

I made a Boom Cards version of these animal valentines too. She loves taking learning on to the computer. Teaching syllables in kindergarten is just perfect for this time of year.

More Kindergarten Syllable Activities

These worksheets are similar to a few worksheets in my larger offering about rhythm in poetry, a Picture Book Lesson plan for kindergarten or first grade teachers. Introduction to Rhythm is available at Teachers Pay Teachers, Teacher’s Notebook, and my Shop.

Picture Book Poetry: Introduction to Rhythm is more than just syllables practice. It includes all of these things!

  • A lesson plan and book list, as well as a compilation of ideas for teaching the basics of rhythmic poetry to kindergarten or first graders
  • Eleven pages of worksheets (some simple “draw a line” and others cut and paste activities) for students
  • Three templates for creating a “silly rhythm poem”
  • Two pages of public domain limericks and nursery rhymes
  • Four charts for students to write their names on to declare how many syllables are in their name
Available at my Shop, TPT, or TN

My daughter and I also practiced counting syllables with my syllable counting clip cards (also at TPT). Then, I also made a few Boom Card online task card decks for syllable counting too: Syllables Counting Animal Valentines, Count the Beats Syllable Counting (to 4 syllables), and the Count the Beats Animal Theme! I think she’s got the hang of it now. Check out all the syllable counting practice I provide by browsing through my products. Shop links are provided below.
