A fun and exciting listening activity that will be enjoyed by the
whole family.
What you need
A recording device such as an MP3 player or cassette player
What to do
Try to go around the house recording
different noises.
You might include the bath emptying, the dog chewing a
bone, the dishwasher or washing machine operating, the iron hissing, the postie's motorcycle, the doorbell, the vacuum cleaner, the phone, the
computer and any others you can think of.
Play the noises back to your children and see how many sounds they can
identify.
Try out the rest of the family and see how well they listen.
