What's That?

Development of listening skills.
Begin by asking the children to close their eyes.
Make a familar sound. Then ask a child to identify it.
There are unlimited sounds to choose from.

Tearing paper Knocking on door Walking, running Shuffling cards Blowing a whistle Shaking a rattle Tapping a window Bouncing a ball Ringing a bell Pouring water Clearing throat Turning book pages Sighing Coughing

Jingling money Sharpening pencil Sweeping floor Different musical instruments Stirring liquid Snapping fingers Tapping shoes Stamping feet Clapping hands Cutting paper Clicking tongue Rattling keys Splashing water Sneezing

You can also play puppets like we do. I pick a child to go
behind our puppet stand. It's a basic homemade frame with
dowel rod and curtain. The child uses a puppet to play a musical
instrument. When the children identify the sound the child
opens the curtain and has the puppet show the others.

Other Variations: Play two sounds and ask children if they are same or different.
After they guess ask them to identify the sounds.
