"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Transition Tuesday

A SOUND IDEA

Make a tape of sounds from the environment.  Example: crickets chirping, cell phones ringing, water running, a thunderstorm, and a kitty meowing. When the tape is played the students are asked to identify what the noise is. Keep a numbered list for your own reference so you don't forget what's on it.

An extension: Make picture/photo cards to match the different objects. Randomly pass out the cards. Play one of the sounds (ex. bell ringing). Children who have the card with the object (ex. bell) on it can line up. Continue until all children have lined up. To keep the children already in line involved have them whisper the name of the object in their neighbor's ear.
