Completed Syllable Guessing Game Template (with audio) for the third storytime: "Learning How Others Talk"
Explanation at the back, you'll need tokens of some sort (ie: print Pokéballs on paper/card) and mini whiteboards and markers for each group (laminate sheets of blank white paper if you lack these).
It was sadly inevitable that significant liberties were taken with this story when entering it. Grammatical errors were fixed such as missing objects and incomplete phrasal verbs being restored, and I added in speakers to the direct quotes. It is strongly recommended you leave the error corrections in, however, you may wish to change the direct quotes back into lines prefixed with a smileyface [Suggestions: ('-'), (^_^) and *(-_-) or ☺,☻ or Webdings font symbols]. I chose to change these as it's a revision activity at this point anyway, but I do recognise that a conscious decision has been made to hide such constructions from the 5th graders by the publishers. My students should all know "ask" and "answer" from classroom instructions anyway so it's just cementing that knowledge in a non-verbal form. Don't forget to reduce the syllable count (the "damage") if you do choose to change anything.
