Listening and talking

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
