(Option: Sounds of Nature Walk)
Since it is the dead of winter here in Missouri, I created a virtual sounds walk of sorts for our Journey girls. I burned the following free MP3 sound files in the order listed below onto audio CDs. The girls played the CDs at home while completing Animal Sounds Match game.
Alternatively, animal sounds could be played straight from a computer with internet access in a troop meeting setting. Just be sure the girls can't see the name of the files on the screen. Or, download the animal sounds files only onto an SD card or thumb drive to play on a computer without internet access. An adult volunteer could act as the narrator for the numbers.
Downloading the number files might be a teeny bit tricky at first. You'll need to sign up for a free Forvo account to download them. Afterward, click on the appropriate number from my Forvo bluehouseschool favorites list (the number links below take you to the same page). Note the pronouncer's user ID (imscotte1), then click on the appropriate number, locate his ID on that page and then choose "Download MP3" underneath his name. I wish I could have figured out an easier way to link these, but it's really not all that bad once you get going.
Animal and insect sounds are from A Zillion Sounds 2.0 (animal sounds, insect sounds). Blank/Silent MP3s are from Xamuel.com. The "5 Seconds of Silence" files are to allow the girls time to make their selections while playing the game with an audio CD.
