Add one more for the Auditory sense!
It seems as if there are never enough auditory sense works for the Sensorial area (other than the sound cylinders and the expensive bells). It's easily neglected. "Forest Sound Bingo" was a work I created for matching the sound to the picture using bingo chips (actually I "borrowed" the chips from my kids' Connect Four game). I found various forest sounds (animals, insects, storms, etc.) from the internet and put them on a CD. I then made different bingo cards with pictures of the animals. While making the CD I had iTunes pause a few seconds between sounds and also repeat the sound to give the children extra time to find the match. This is another work I have not put out yet this year, but have in the past. The kids enjoyed this work. At the time I did not have headphones, so the one thing I had to watch out for was that the sound was never up too loud as to bother other's working nearby. This year we have a new CD player with four headphone jacks - I can't wait to try it with the Forest bingo game! Happy Holidays! I hope to use some of this time off to create more works.
