Clap the syllables in festival and celebration words correctly, clapping once for each syllable they hear.
Count and state the number of syllables in given celebration words, for example saying “Homowo has 3 syllables” after clapping Ho-mo-wo.
Sort simple festival words into groups by their first letter sound (for example, words beginning with m and words beginning with f).
