A Simple PreSchool Activity: Play a Game of Lotto

Games and Activities
This preschool activity encourages your preschooler to listen and concentrate. I love it because it combines a sense of hearing activity with a fun game
First, record a number of sounds that are familiar to your child - a car being started, animals she’s familiar with, a musical instrument, the sound of water pouring into a tub, birds etc.
Now, stick a picture of each object that you’ve recorded on separate cards. Cut out pictures from magazines, catalogs, newspapers etc.
Place the cards in a row in front of your child, and play the tape with the sounds.
When she recognizes a sound, she has to take that card and place it face down on the table. Continue until all cards have been placed down.
To keep things simple, start with 6 cards and increase as you go along.
Enjoy!

That’s one of our favourites at the moment. Miss F still insists that the recorded sound of throwing a coin in our wishing well is actually “Doing poo in the toilet”.
I’d love to give the girls a go at recording their own sounds, but that will have to wait until I find a cheaper, more child friendly sound recorder- Any suggestions?

I have never made our own sounds which would be loads of fun, but I do play with my preschooler the Animal Bingo game on the Lego website. They have to listen to the animal sound then click on the right picture.

I let the girls loose with the mobile phone sound recorder (thanks!). They LOVED it, and spent over an hour recording fart sounds.
