Listening Activity - What's the mystery sound?

(0)
3 Differentiated Worksheets - Reception/Early Years What’s that sound? 1 - 4 sounds 2 - 6 sounds 3 - 8 sounds I had a feely bag with different instruments and classroom resources inside. I used one resource at a time. I shook the bag for the children to listen to the sound. My lower ability children drew pictures and I scribed for them (listen to 4 sounds). My middle group drew pictures and initial sounds of what they thought the sound was (listen to 6 sounds). My top ability group drew pictures and spelled phonetically (listen to 8 sounds). MAT wrote in full sentences. I used some instruments such as bells, drums, a triangle; as well as classroom resources such as pencils, rulers, crayons. Children thought that pencils sounded like claves. They also thought wooden building blocks sounded like claves. We talked about the material that they are made out of. I also used crisps, marbles, and numicon shapes.
