Nationality words stress maze games

Nationality words stressed on the first syllable maze game

Trace a route through the maze below by following only the country words which change into nationality words that are stressed on the first syllable, starting from the top-left corner word “India” (because the nationality word is “INdian”, stressed on the first syllable). You can’t jump over squares and you can only move vertically or horizontally (meaning up, down, left or right), not diagonally. You should finish somewhere on the right-hand side of the maze, with an unbroken line of squares between the start and finish.

  • Hum a stress pattern and help your partner come up with suitable nationality words, giving them hints like the first letter and where the countries are if they get stuck

Trace a route through the maze by following only the country words which change into nationality words that are stressed on the second syllable, starting from the top-left corner word “China” (because the nationality word is “ChiNESE”, stressed on the second syllable).
