Discussion Questions
The questions on the page below are for you to ask your students. They are designed to start a discussion about the story and about the sense of sound.
Telephone
Play the game Telephone. One student whispers something into another student’s ear. That student repeats what they heard to the next student, who whispers the message to the next student. This continues until all the students have heard the message. The last student tells what they heard, and the first tells what the original message was. The message should have changed and shows how stories and news can change as it is repeated. The game can be played several times to give multiple students the opportunity to say the beginning phrase.
Sense of Sound Worksheet
The students will look at the pictures and decide if those items are loud or quiet. With a red crayon, they will circle all the things they are loud. With a blue one, they will circle the things they are quiet. Then they can color the pictures.
