Play ‘pass the sound’ activities with family members and friends

Playing the copy game one-to-one can gradually be extended to groups of three people or more

Sit in a small circle of three or four people, with me sitting on someone’s lap
The person I’m with starts the game by making a sound with their voice
The person sitting next to us then copies it, and round the circle the sound goes
Pass the sound quite slowly at first, so I have lots of time to get a sense of what is happening
Next, try playing the game with a soundmaker like a shaker
Make sure that the people are sitting really close together to give me a better chance of seeing what is going on, or, if my eyesight isn’t very good, let me feel the shaker move
Play the game on a resonance board if you have one, so I can feel the sound in my body
Once I seem to be getting the hang of the game, see if you can make the circle bigger
