Encourage me to make all sorts of different sounds myself
Little Soundabout: Level 2 | Card: 5 | Category: Proactive
Think of different ways in which small movements can create or control sounds

- Gently guide my hands to explore soundmakers: things to tap, scrunch, squeeze and scratch
- Try different musical instruments that work by being hit or tapped or shaken or scratched:a tambourine; a ukulele; a little keyboard
- Using my feet may be the easiest way for me to make sounds – especially loud ones!
- If I find using my hands or feet difficult, then attach bells to my wrists and ankles, and dance
- See if I can use apps on a tablet that are sensitive to touch or movement to make musical sounds:as well as my hands and feet, perhaps I could make them work using my head, elbows or knees
- Try using a switch to enable me to play sounds from the Soundabout Music Tracks resources
- Use a microphone and an amplifier to enhance the effect of any vocal sounds that I make
- Tapping or scratching a microphone can be a great way of making sounds too
