Ask your child to close their eyes...what can they hear?

  • Talk about the different noises they hear. It could be traffic, voices, music, birds singing, the washing machine, baby crying, a dog barking etc.
  • Ask your child to describe the noises they hear. Are the noises loud or quiet? Do they like the noises? Are there any noises that they do not like?
  • A sound they hear may remind them of a familiar or recent event. This will provide you with a good opportunity to talk about this event and share photos
  • This activity can be done anywhere. It could be inside your house, in the garden, in the park, or even in the supermarket
