This is a great starting point for discussing children’s favourite sounds. Go through the pictures and ensure that the children understand what each picture represents. Discuss what sound each picture makes. Colour the sounds that are liked in green and the sounds that are not liked in red. If you have more than one child, you could compare their favourite sounds or rank them in order of popularity.
Do the things in the picture make a loud or quiet sound? This Phonics Phase One activity has been designed for Aspect 1 - to encourage children to listen, and think about the sounds they hear.
This game encourages careful listening and helps children to develop their vocabulary and observational skills. It also incorporates maths skills as you can use number, shape and information about size to help with the descriptions.
This is a really fun activity to do that encourages children to explore sounds and use their imagination. Ask the children to colour in the monsters on the sheet and then discuss with them what noise they think each monster would make.
