Phase 1 - Aspect 1 - Socks and Shakers (Talking about sounds)

Ask the children to shake the socks or bottles and identify what is inside from the sound the items make. From the feel and the sound of the noisy materials encourage the children to talk about them.

Look, listen and note how well children:

• Identify different sounds and place them in a context
• Identify similar sounds
• Make up sentences to talk about sounds
• Join in the activities and take turns to participate
