LISTENING TO SOUNDS
• This lesson will help develop student’s listening skills and awareness of sounds.
• Tell students they need to be good listeners. Tell them to
show how good they are at listening by remembering the sounds they hear when they listen for a few minutes.
• Ask students to cover their eyes while you make a noise like opening a window, tearing paper, or pouring liquid.
• By listening carefully and without peeking, ask the students to try to identify the noise.
LISTENING TO SOUNDS
• Next, make two noises, one after the
other. Ask students to guess, without peeking, the two sounds.
• They should say "There were two
sounds, first we heard ____, and then we heard ____."
• After students have mastered two
noises, produce a series of more than two for them to identify in order.
• Finally, make a series of sounds. Then
repeat them, but leave out one of the sounds. Students must identify the sound that has been left out the second time.

they should make the noise they think the animal makes.
• When they are familiar with the activity, let individual students take the part of the teacher and describe the animal for the others to name.

LISTENING TO SOUNDS • Tell
the students that they are going to play a game called “I Spy Names.”
• The
students sit in a circle. Start the game by saying “I spy someone whose name begins with…” and give the sound of the first letter, for example /m/ for Michael.
• Then
ask: “Who can it be?” Michael stands, everyone says his name and he carries on the game, saying “I spy someone whose name begins with…,” and so on.
• If
any students call out the name before the student with that name, still let the student whose name it is take the next turn.
• If
students find identifying the first sound too difficult, you can continue to be the starter until they get used to it.
LISTENING TO SOUNDS
• Repeat any of the previous activities
until you are sure that the students have shown that they can be good listeners.
