An activity to begin identifying animal sounds.
Materials Needed:
- Individual animal pictures.
- A box (to fit animal pictures inside).
What to do:
- Place animal pictures inside the box.
- Place animal pictures inside the box.
- Choose a child, to reach in and select an animal.
- Child looks at the picture (not showing anyone else) and begins to make the sound of the animal in the picture.
- The rest of the children have to guess what animal it is.
Hints and Tips:
- For older children, you can just write the animal name onto a piece of paper, instead of having the animal pictures.
- Instead of using the whole picture of the animal you can cut it in half, add half of the animal picture in the box in which the child has to figure out what animal it is before making the noise.
- Make a big dice using cardboard or paper on each of the sides, glue an animal picture. Child rolls a dice in a box out of view of others. Whichever animal it lands on, child makes the animal noise that others have to guess.
- Use the "animal flashcards" available in our Printables section.
