Learning Intentions:• To know that there are many different ways of making sounds.• To be able to make sounds in a variety of ways.• To be able to talk about sounds and classify them.• To begin to distinguish between wind, percussion and string instruments.

Key Questions:• How can you make these things make sounds?• How many different ways do they make sounds?• What noises can you make with your body? (Sc 1/1a 2b c Sc4 1c)

As the children invent and produce ’body sounds’ assess how well they describe and communicate their observations and whether they know that sounds are made in various ways. (Sc 4 1c)

Tasks: Exploring – How do we make sounds using different instruments?

Explore different ways that we can make sounds with parts of our bodies – whistling, singing, clicking fingers, slapping legs, etc

Challenge children to find a range of ways of making sound from different objects.Children can then sort them according to how they make sound – blowing, hitting, plucking, scrapping, etc

Can make sounds and tape them (level 1)

Can talk about sounds and classify them - low, high, loud, soft, pleasant, unpleasant, etc (level 2)Can compare the loudness of sounds (level 2)

Can make simple generalisations – harder it is hit, the louder the sound (level 3)


Make your sound like mine:The children and leader sing the verse together.At the end the leader uses his/her hands to make a quiet sound which the children will copy in the second verse – repeat for each sound.Variations:Quiet – flick finger nail/fists togetherLoud – clapLong – rub palms togetherShort – tap or clickFast – pat knees quickly

Clap your hands and wiggle your fingers:Each verse introduces a pattern of actions – one action produces a sound and the other is silent. Can the children think of more sounds and silent actions to add?
