Hello, little friend! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about the sounds that different animals make. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Do you know what sound a dog makes? It goes “Bow-wow!” Isn’t that fun to say? And what about a cat? A cat says “Mew, mew!” Can you try saying it too?
Now, let’s talk about a hog. A hog makes a “Grunt, grunt” sound. It’s a bit like a funny snort! And a rat goes “Squeak, squeak!” It’s a tiny sound, just like the rat!
Next, we have the owl. An owl says “Tu-whu!” It’s a special sound you might hear at night. And a crow goes “Caw, caw!” It’s a loud sound you can hear in the daytime.
Quack, quack! That’s the sound a duck makes. Ducks love to quack by the water. And do you know what a cuckoo says? It says “CUCKOO!” It’s a fun and cheerful sound!
Now that we know all the sounds, let’s sing them together:
Bow-wow, says the dog,
Mew, mew, says the cat.
Grunt, grunt, goes the hog,
And squeak goes the rat.
Tu-whu, says the owl,
Caw, caw, says the crow,
Quack, quack, says the duck,
And what cuckoos say you know.
CUCKOO!
Wasn’t that fun? Now you know how to make all these animal sounds. You can share them with your friends and family. Keep practicing, and you’ll be an animal sound expert in no time!
Animal Sound Hunt: Take a walk in your neighborhood or a nearby park with an adult. Listen carefully for any animal sounds you might hear. Can you hear a dog barking or a bird chirping? Try to identify the animal and mimic the sound. Share your discoveries with your classmates or family!
Sound Matching Game: Create a set of cards with pictures of the animals mentioned in the lesson (dog, cat, hog, rat, owl, crow, duck, cuckoo). On separate cards, write the sounds they make. Mix them up and try to match each animal with its correct sound. You can play this game with a friend or family member to see who can match them the fastest!
Animal Sound Storytime: With the help of an adult, create a short story using the animals and sounds you learned. For example, “One day, the dog went ‘Bow-wow’ to greet the cat, who replied with a ‘Mew, mew’.” Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with your class or family. This will help you remember the sounds and have fun with storytelling!
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
Let’s sing that rhyme that teaches what some of the animals say.
Bow-wow, says the dog,
Mew, mew, says the cat.
Grunt, grunt, goes the hog,
And squeak goes the rat.
Tu-whu, says the owl,
Caw, caw, says the crow,
Quack, quack, says the duck,
And what cuckoos say you know.
CUCKOO!
