Sounds are things we hear with our ears. They can be loud, like a drum, or quiet, like a whisper. We make sounds when we talk, laugh, or even when we are surprised!
Sometimes, we make sounds to show how we feel. If we are happy, we might say “Yay!” If we are surprised, we might say “Oh!” or “Wow!” These sounds help us share our feelings with others.
Can you make a happy sound? Try saying “Yippee!”
What about a surprised sound? Try saying “Oh!”
Now, make a thinking sound. You can say “Hmm.”
Sounds help us talk to each other. They help us tell stories, sing songs, and play games. When we listen to sounds, we can learn new things and have fun!
Let’s play a game! Close your eyes and listen carefully. What sounds can you hear around you? Maybe a bird chirping or a car driving by. Try to guess what each sound is!
Next time you hear a sound, think about what it might mean. Is it a happy sound or a quiet sound? Keep listening and learning!
Sound Matching Game: Gather a few small objects that make different sounds, such as a bell, a crumpled piece of paper, or a small drum. Have the children close their eyes and listen as you make a sound with one of the objects. Ask them to guess which object made the sound. Afterward, let them take turns making sounds for their friends to guess. This will help them connect sounds with objects and understand how different sounds can represent different things.
Feelings Sound Collage: Provide the children with various art supplies like paper, crayons, and stickers. Ask them to draw or create a collage that represents different feelings using sounds. For example, they can draw a sun and write “Yay!” for happiness or a cloud with “Oh!” for surprise. Encourage them to think about how different sounds can express different emotions and how they can represent these sounds visually.
Sound Walk Adventure: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground. Ask them to listen carefully and identify different sounds they hear, such as birds chirping, leaves rustling, or footsteps. After the walk, gather the children and discuss the sounds they heard. Ask questions like, “What sound made you feel happy?” or “Did any sound surprise you?” This activity encourages children to be mindful of their surroundings and understand how sounds can influence their feelings.
