Encourage me to respond to your sounds by making your own
Soundabout Life: Level 2 | Card: 9 | Category: Interactive
First get my attention by making sounds,and then give me lots of time to respond
- Model taking it in turns to make sounds with someone else, to show me what to do
- Make sounds that I enjoy using your voice, getting close to me so that I can feel or watch what you are doing as well as listening, and leave gaps for me to respond
- Share soundmakers or instruments with me so that I can feel them vibrate as you make a sound, and then wait, keeping quite still, to see if I respond
- Then move on to using separate instruments and see whether I still respond
- I may need a long time to react, only respond intermittently, and need lots of repetition
- Use a switch to play Soundabout Music Tracks and see if I will respond by pressing it
- Record our interactions to enjoy later
