Create sound amplifiers by cutting off the bottoms of large foam cups. During outdoor time, invite the children to hold them up to their ears and listen to the many sounds of a rural or urban environment. Ask them to identify the sounds they hear. Draw their attention to the similarities and differences in sounds. Ask questions like, “How do you think that bird's song sounds different from the other one?” or “How do you think the bus horn sounds different from the car horn?” Using a digital voice recorder, encourage them to imitate the sounds.
