Go on a listening walk! 

 

You could go around your house or an outside area with an adult and practise listening carefully to all the different sounds you hear.

Talk about what you heard.  

Did you recognise all the sounds?

Were they loud or quiet?

Were they long or short sounds?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Play the game, "I hear with my little ear!"

Take it in turns to imitate the sound of something and guess what makes that sound.

You could imitate the sounds of things found around your house, like a clock or a telephone, or of  recognisable animals, like a cat or dog.
