One of the best parts of summer? The grill! I’ve got a ton of kiddos working on multisyllabic words so I whipped this game up! Time for Grillin’ Syllables! Grillin’ Syllables is a new game for speech therapy targeting multisyllabic articulation of words. I developed a new game targeting these 3-5 syllable words featuring the summer grill theme!
78 multisyllabic words with pictures are included. Print all food cards. Print each student one game board (page 3). Use blank cards to include student specific learning targets. Laminate all materials, but most importantly the student game boards.
Give each student one game board and one dry erase marker. Place the cards in the center of the group. On each turn, the student should pull a card from the center pile. Read the multisyllable word. Check the included grill food at the top of the card and mark that item off on your game board.
If you draw a special ‘burnt it!’ card, lose a turn. The student who first covers all their grill items is the game winner. Download it on TpT and don’t forget to leave feedback if you grab it! I’m giving away 2 free copies – just enter on rafflecopter below! a Rafflecopter giveaway

I am a special educator working with students that receive speech services 3 – 5 days/week. I work on syllables for speech articulation as well as for phonemic activities. This game looks wonderful. dbednarsk@yahoo.com
Another great product Jenna!!
I work on alot of tactile cues for multisyllabic words…pacing boards, clapping, etc..
I work on slowly saying the word, and breaking it up into the syllables of the word (so for butterfly, it would be but/er/fly” slowly until they can combine at a regular rate
Where do you get these great ideas?!
I use a lot acoustic highlighting
Clap out syllables to music
Clapping, using blocks to provide a visual…
I love all of your activities. I hope I win! It looks great!
My kiddos really like pacing activities like clapping, counting on fingers, or pacing boards… and hopefully Grillin’ with Syllables! 🙂
Always love you products, Jenna! My kiddos like clapping or sliding tokens when working on syllables.
Love your stuff
I could definitely use this!
I love the grilling theme! You always create amazing products.
I like to even have my students jump for syllables with visuals like blocks to get some movement involved for the kinestetic learners.
My students like seeing their progress or to a tangible reward- colored mini marshmallows are a favorite- one marshmallow for each syllable said correctly! If they miss a syllable – I get that marshmallow.
This is so cute. We clap syllables. I usually have flashcards with the words broken into syllables that I use initially. Then we transition to just words on the cards with decreased cuing. I also do a lot of syllable sorting.
I break up words on index cards into syllables they can say easily. I’ve also made up a game like battleship with some of the words.
I break up words onto note cards and have the kids put them together. I like to use the cue of putting your hand under your chin and counting how many times the chin comes down. That helps my littles!
Looks awesome! I am always looking for materials for multisyllabic words.
I tap out the syllables and use backward chaining.
I have the kids clap out syllables and use visual cues/pictures sometimes.
Tactile cues and visuals.
I tell kids to put their hand under their chin and count how many times their chin comes down. Love this clip art! What a cute theme for the beginning of summer!
Another amazing idea! Thanks so much for sharing all your projects with TPT users!
I have my students, clap/jump/tap syllables or push pennies for every syllable in a word.
Our district uses the Wilson reading program!
This would be a great addition to my sessions with my kiddos. Great Idea!
I use multi-syllable words all the time in my artic sessions, language sessions, phonemic work….It comes up all the time with kids….Thanks again.

I too use multisyllabic words for artic and language as well as phonemic awareness (sound segmenting and sound blending) Looks like fun! Thanks Jenna!
I work on multisyllabic words by trying to add some type of visual representation for each syllable, dots on a paper, blocks, etc.
I use whatever seems to work for a kiddo- often clapping out syllables, or using manipulatives like blocks or soft foam alphabet letters for representing the start of each syllable segment. This game looks like a fun addition for the tool kit!
I created an activity on my tpt store to target multisyllabic words with my students.
I have my kids clap the syllables. Love this packet you created!
Nicole
we tap out syllables on the table! can’t wait to try this one!
colored blocks or bingo chips. A different color to represent every syllable. clapping and tapping (but then sometimes they lose count 😉
I use clapping to music, jumping, tapping on the table, counting on fingers…would love to use this, too!
Another awesome activity my kids would love!
Great activity, cute graphics! To produce all syllables, I make a visual with numbered blocks or have students count on their fingers.
We tap it out on their arm!
Cute activity. I usually use a tactile cue, such as tapping fingers or pointing to blocks to count the syllables.
Like a lot of others here, I use clapping or tapping on the table.
We use clapping & tapping mostly, but also breaking the syllables up on different paper squares to make sure they produce each one. I always need new stuff for targeting this and I love the grill!

When we work on multisyllable words, a lot of the time we slide pennies into drawn boxes for each syllable…..
Awesome activity!! I have my kiddos clap/tap out syllables.
I break the word apart first then slowly put it together.

I work on multisyllabic words by tapping out and slightly pausing between each syllable. Valerie
Love this! I use visuals (like pacing boards), touch cues, and clapping! maria.wellman@gmail.com
This is great!! I will have a few summer students who could use this!! Makes me a bit hungry though!!
I work on multisyllabic words by breaking them up with pauses and using taps or claps for each part.
I use multisyllabic words for intelligibility and speech sound production!
We tap, clap, count and segment using visuals! This activity would be great for my students!
I use the touch lights! Works wonders with the visual cue!
I use tapping and clapping to work on multisyllabic words!
I also use tapping and counting to work on multisyllabic words
Like many people above, I use tapping and clapping for multisyllabic words. I have also used my DIY pacing “beads”. I use a string with a few different large sized beads (depending on how many syllables I am working on). The student taps or slides a bead for each syllable in a word. Your grillin’ syllables activity looks FANTASTIC!!! I know my students would enjoy this. I absolutely love that you have included pictures as well!!!!
Such cute graphics! Also, it’s nice to have a good list of multi-syllabic words!
I use tapping and clapping to work on multisyllabic words. I’ve also use pacing boards or beads to work on multisyllabic words.
I use a lot of visual cues – point to the lips, neck, teeth for the different sounds.
With my preschoolers, we do a lot of tapping on the table or our arms to mark syllables. I also often use a sing-song voice with certain kids, to emphasize the separate syllables.
We use the rhythm sticks from the music class or we clap them.
I encourage clap, tap, use a slinky to stretch to find all the sounds
What a great activity! My kids would love this!
Clapping, tapping, counting!! (I bet) This app would work great too!!
I’ve been clapping out multi-syllable words a lot lately. Thanks for the giveaway!
Looks great! I use clapping, tapping different colored blocks or chips.
What a great activity. My son would love this. Tracey Struthers
Looks awesome! I have quite a few who had difficulty with multi-syllables, and your products are always terrific. cleavitt@tds.net Courtney
Love the graphics! Hope I win!

I have kids talk like a turtle and tap out the word.
Awesome!
I use dots or lights that the kids tap on…they love the lights!
super cute theme activity! there are so many tangible things that can go along with grilling to help bring the theme home!
I use a variety of visuals to help kids segment syllables (i.e. blocks, chipper chat, dots).
We work on syllables by tapping on the word, or by clapping when we are all together in a group!
We tap with blocks or lights!
I clap or tap out the sounds in multisyllabic words as a group during my sessions!
My students love getting to learn new multisyllabic words! We use all sorts of different gestures, clapping, tapping, etc to sound them out. This activity is so cute! My students will love it this summer
