Activity: Animal Sounds - Pre-Reading Skill
This story has a great story line to focus on animal sounds. It
is a lot of fun for children to mimic animal sounds. This is
great because being able to see an animal or its image and recognize
or make the sound is a skill the children will need to see letters and
associate them with sounds: a pre-reading skill.
Visit Bananas in Pyjamas and have fun with their great Animal
Match Sound Game. Click on the dots to hear and identify the sound
it makes and find the matching sound and animal.
Offline Activity - Animal Sounds:
To do an offline animal sound activity use coloring pages or color
posters (links to images below) and distribute the images.
The children can color, decorate and cut around images, add a Popsicle
stick to make hand puppets. Use these to play the games
suggested below.
Make a presentation first of each animal on the board or flannel board
and practice the animal sounds, then conduct one or both of these
games.
1. Game 1: Farm Animal Sounds Circle Game
* Distribute different coloring page
images (links

different animal names, the children holding the animal puppet must make the sound corresponding
to the image they hold and move to the center of the
circle.
