Sound Effects

This game allows children to get to make up sound effects and a noisy story, then have fun with audience participation.

Material Needed

Chart Paper

Marker

Step1

Ask the children to brainstorm ideas for effects of sound. Encourage them to name common things that make noises.

Step2

List children's ideas on chart paper. Challenge them to make the list as long as possible.

Note: For the younger children, make a list shorter, and for the non-readers, use picture hints.

Some sounds could be included, such as "a clock ticking", "a cat meowing", "a dog barking", "the wind blowing", or "a leaky faucet dripping".

Step3

Check out the list together after it is complete. Have the children make the appropriate sound after you name each entry. Then ask children to read each entry on the list for describing the sound.

Step4

For adding more challenge, you may ask children to make up a story that consists each of the sounds. At the mention of any of the noises, have the children create its effect of sound.
