About this resource

Helper Sound Cards: vocal sound picture cards. Six picture cards, each with a sound to make. The fire engine, ambulance and police car go nee-naw. The bin lorry goes beep beep, the postal worker knocks and the crossing patrol says stop! Children make the sounds loudly, quietly, fast and slow. It builds careful listening and turn-taking. What’s included: • Teacher guide with Development Matters links. • 6 sound cards. Ideas for using it: • Make the sound: Hold up a card. Make the sound. • Loud and quiet: Make the siren loud, then quiet. • Guess who: Make a sound. Which card is it? • Fast and slow: Make the sound fast, then slow. Linked to Development Matters (three and four-year-olds): • Listen with increased attention to sounds. • Respond to what they have heard, expressing their thoughts and feelings. • Use a wider range of vocabulary. • Play with one or more other children, extending and elaborating play ideas. Supplied as a ready-to-print PDF (A4 landscape). Print, laminate and reuse all year.Read more

What you get, one file

  • PDFActivity

This pack is print and go. Our catalogue does not list an editable copy of it, so none is offered here rather than promising a file nobody has opened. Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
