Syllable Peeps worksheet for building multisyllable words.

To solve this puzzle, we need to look at the syllable pieces at the bottom and combine them to make real words. Some words will use two pieces, and some will use three.

Here is the step-by-step breakdown of how to match them:

1. basketball: Look for `bas`, `ket`, and `ball`. Put them together: bas-ket-ball.
2. elephant: Look for `e`, `le` (wait, there is no 'le', let's look closer). Ah, there is `el` and `phant`. Let's check other options. Is there a 3-syllable word? `e` + `le` + `phant`? No. Let's look at `ba` + `na` + `na`? No. Let's re-examine the pieces.
* Pieces available: `bas`, `e`, `ba`, `bur`, `te`, `la`, `co`, `go`, `ter`, `ket`, `phant`, `broc`, `nan`, `ham`, `ger`, `li`, `ril`, `but`, `el`, `ball`, `a`, `ka`, `fly`, `ra`.

Let's try combining them systematically:

* 3-Syllable Words:
* `ba` + `na` (not there) ... wait, `ba` + `nan` + `a`? That makes banana. (`ba` - `nan` - `a`)
* `bur` + `ger` ... needs one more? No, `bur` + `ger` is 2 syllables. Is there a 3rd piece? Maybe `ham` + `bur` + `ger`? No. Let's hold on `burger`.
* `broc` + `co` + `li`? That makes broccoli. (`broc` - `co` - `li`)
* `can`... no `can`. `ter`... `ri`... `la`? Terracotta? No `cotta`.
* `el` + `e` ... no.
* Let's look at `phant`. `e` + `le`? No `le`. `el` + `e` + `phant`? That spells "elephant" if we split it `el-e-phant`. Yes! (`el` - `e` - `phant`)
* `ham` + `bur` + `ger`? That makes hamburger. (`ham` - `bur` - `ger`)
* `ka` + `ra` + `te`? That makes karate. (`ka` - `ra` - `te`)
* `ba` + `se` ... no `se`. `bas` + `e` ... `bas` + `e` + `ball`? No.
* `go` + `ril` + `la`? That makes gorilla. (`go` - `ril` - `la`)

* 2-Syllable Words:
* We have used: `ba`, `nan`, `a`, `broc`, `co`, `li`, `el`, `e`, `phant`, `ham`, `bur`, `ger`, `ka`, `ra`, `te`, `go`, `ril`, `la`.
* Remaining pieces: `bas`, `ket`, `ball`, `ter`, `but`, `fly`, `rel`? No `rel`. `ter` is left. `but` is left. `fly` is left. `bas` is left. `ket` is left. `ball` is left.
* Let's check the ones we might have misclassified or missed.
* `bas` + `ket` + `ball` = basketball (3 syllables). I missed this one in the first pass. So `bas`, `ket`, `ball` are used.
* Remaining pieces now: `ter`, `but`, `fly`.
* Do these form words with anything else?
* Wait, let's re-list all pieces and cross them off carefully.

List of Pieces:
1. bas
2. e
3. ba
4. bur
5. te
6. la
7. co
8. go
9. ter
10. ket
11. phant
12. broc
13. nan
14. ham
15. ger
16. li
17. ril
18. but
19. el
20. ball
21. a
22. ka
23. fly
24. ra

Let's build the words again:

1. banana: `ba` + `nan` + `a` (Uses: ba, nan, a)
2. broccoli: `broc` + `co` + `li` (Uses: broc, co, li)
3. elephant: `el` + `e` + `phant` (Uses: el, e, phant)
4. hamburger: `ham` + `bur` + `ger` (Uses: ham, bur, ger)
5. karate: `ka` + `ra` + `te` (Uses: ka, ra, te)
6. gorilla: `go` + `ril` + `la` (Uses: go, ril, la)
7. basketball: `bas` + `ket` + `ball` (Uses: bas, ket, ball)

What is left?
- `ter`
- `but`
- `fly`

These three don't seem to form a single 3-syllable word together ("terbutfly"? No.). They must form smaller words or combine with something I already used? Let's re-read the remaining pieces.

Actually, looking at `ter`, `but`, `fly`...
Is there a word butterfly?
`but` + `ter` + `fly` = butterfly.

Yes! That uses the last three pieces.

So we have 8 words total. The table has 8 rows. Perfect.

The Words:
1. basketball (bas-ket-ball)
2. banana (ba-nan-a)
3. broccoli (broc-co-li)
4. elephant (el-e-phant)
5. hamburger (ham-bur-ger)
6. karate (ka-ra-te)
7. gorilla (go-ril-la)
8. butterfly (but-ter-fly)

Final Answer:
Here are the words you can build using the syllable parts, filled into the table rows:

| SYLLABLE #1 | SYLLABLE #2 | SYLLABLE #3 | WORD |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| bas | ket | ball | basketball |
| ba | nan | a | banana |
| broc | co | li | broccoli |
| el | e | phant | elephant |
| ham | bur | ger | hamburger |
| ka | ra | te | karate |
| go | ril | la | gorilla |
| but | ter | fly | butterfly |
