Cookie Jar Syllable Game

Cookie Jar Syllable Game -- features three cookie jar images labeled 1, 2 and 3 syllables, and cookies with 1,2, and 3-syllable words and images for sorting.

This Cookie Jar Syllable Sort game from Fairy Poppins for Playdough to Plato was a HUGE hit in our class! Our pre-k kiddos not only loved it, but many seemed to grasp the concept of syllables after one time playing.

The set features labeled “cookie jars” in which preschool kiddos sort the adorable cookies, which feature one-, two- or three-syllable images. This is a set you’ll want to laminate before you cut it out, because it will get some use!

We used this in small groups with about 3-4 kiddos at a time. We handed out one one-syllable cookie first to each child to get a feel for the game. For subsequent rounds we got a little harder with two- and three-syllable words, then we mixed them up randomly.

The kiddos turned it into a guessing game on their own, and that created anticipation as the rounds went by and kept their attention on what their peers were doing, The “oooh, what are you gonna get — one, two or three?” increased the appeal of this game beyond our expectations.
