How to Play
Playing is easy! You'll hear a series of sounds, and your job is to listen carefully and guess what's making each one. Here's how it works:
- Listen to all the sounds from start to finish
- After a short break, we'll play them again
- Count how many sounds you can identify
- (Optional) Compare notes with friends or classmates
Then we'll go through each sound one by one. Instead of just telling you the answer, we'll show you a picture of what's making the sound. This helps you remember the vocabulary better and gives you a visual connection to the sound.
