Did you know we have five special tools called senses? We use them every day to learn about the world around us. Let’s talk about one of these senses today: the sense of hearing!
Hearing is when we use our ears to listen to sounds. Our ears are like magic tools that help us hear all kinds of things. Isn’t that amazing?
With our ears, we can hear birds singing their pretty songs. We can hear bells going “ding, ding, dong.” We can even hear a train going “choo, choo, choo.” And the best part? We can hear someone say, “I love you!”
When something makes a sound, it shakes the air around it. These shakes are called vibrations. The vibrations travel through the air and go into our ears. That’s how we hear sounds!
Our five senses help us learn and grow. They are like little helpers that give our brain information. This helps us be the best we can be!
We have five senses: hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, and touching. Today, we learned about hearing. Next time, we can explore another sense together!
Isn’t it fun to learn about how our body works? Keep using your senses every day to discover new things!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Listen carefully and try to find five different sounds. Can you hear a clock ticking, a bird chirping, or water running? Draw a picture of each thing you hear and share your drawings with your friends or family. Discuss which sound was your favorite and why.
Make Your Own Music: Use everyday objects to create your own musical instruments. You can use pots and pans as drums or fill a container with rice to make a shaker. Experiment with making different sounds. Can you make a loud sound? How about a soft sound? Try playing a song and see if others can guess what it is!
Guess the Sound Game: With a partner, take turns making sounds using different objects or your voice while the other person closes their eyes. Can they guess what is making the sound? Afterward, talk about how you knew what the sound was. Was it loud or quiet? Did it remind you of something else?
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Here’s how we hear.
When something makes a sound,
It vibrates or shakes the air all around.
The vibrations make sound waves that go in our ear,
So we can hear the sound.
