Thing of the Week - Shout and Shhh

As part of the launch of 50 Things in Southwark, we are focusing on 1 of the 50 activities in this amazing app. Next is ‘Shout and Shhh’

Your child will delight in discovering and trying out the noises that they can make as well as exploring how places can change sound such as a garden or subway. Try talking to your child about what they can hear when you’re under a bridge, in the woods or even at home. What are the sounds around you and can you describe them? Birds tweeting, a loud aeroplane or children giggling. This activity can be done anywhere and playing with sounds and voices can help children to build their confidence, tune into the different sounds around them and support their listening skills.

For more information on this activity including how to do it, the benefits, top tips and resources, download the free 50 Things app from Google Play or the Apple Store.
