Nursery Animal Sound Match: Pairs Game

Animal Sound Match: pairs and memory game. Farm animal cards and sound cards, including moo, baa, oink, neigh, hee-haw and cock-a-doodle-doo. Children match each animal to its sound, face up or as a memory game. Choose the clip-art version or the real-photo version. An adult reads the sound words aloud, so children see print with meaning.

Ideas for using it: • Make the sound: Hold up an animal. What sound does it make? • Match it: Find the sound card that goes with each animal. • Memory game: Turn the cards over and find the pairs. • Guess who: Make a sound. Who am I? Linked to Development Matters (three and four-year-olds): • Listen with increased attention to sounds. • Use a wider range of vocabulary. • Understand the five key concepts about print: print has meaning. • Play with one or more other children, extending and elaborating play ideas.
