Sound Charades

The object of this game is to use your mouth and your body to make the sounds on the card. The other players on the team try to guess the sound being made.

During 2005 and 2006, they developed a number of sound and music activities and tested them with kids in the museum and the community.

Materials

• 25 cards with words and pictures (laminated, if you want)

• For the cards we used animals and objects that we thought could be acted out using sounds instead of a lot of gestures or movement, like cat, airplane, waves, thunder, etc.
