Assemble a bell or timer, a marble that is in a closed metal container, water in a small closed plastic container that is not full, or any three different sound makers of your choice.

Ring the bell or timer and say its name. Roll the marble around in the container and say ‘marble’. Swish the water around in the closed plastic container and say ‘water’. Do this several times and encourage the child to say the name of each thing as you make the respective sound. The child may just watch what you do, but continue to make the sounds until the child loses interest.

At another time, put the containers behind the sofa, a chair or something that will hide the three containers. The hiding place must be where the child can easily go and retrieve one of the three things.

Choose one and make a noise with it. Ask the child to find the one that made the sound. Help the child if she seems confused. Continue to play the game and praise the child whenever you can. If the child makes a mistake, keep working with the same noisemaker until the child successfully finds the correct one.

Choose three other different things and tell the child to close her eyes or turn around while you make a sound with one of the materials. The child can then be instructed to point to the correct one. Continue to make the child aware of specific sounds throughout the house and outside.
