Sound Detective: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Listen carefully and try to identify different sounds you hear. Can you find sounds that are similar to the ones in the songs Elmo sings, like a beep, swish, or roar? Share what you find with your friends or family and try to mimic those sounds together!
Imagination Station: Create your own pretend play adventure! Choose a role like a bus driver, firefighter, or farmer. Use toys or household items to set up your scene. What sounds do you think you would hear in your adventure? Make up a song or a story about your adventure and perform it for your family or classmates.
Animal Sound Match: Draw or print pictures of different animals, like a cow, chicken, or dinosaur. Mix them up and try to match each animal with the correct sound they make. Can you think of any other animals and their sounds? Try making those sounds and see if your friends can guess the animal!
