Listening is a skill, it needs to be practiced like any other. Luckily, there are plenty of super fun and kid-friendly ways to work on it with children–here are a few for you: 🐘 Rhythm games - Call and response-style: create a pattern of sounds using body percussion (claps, snaps, foot stomps, drumming on lap, etc). Children have to listen carefully in order to repeat the rhythm back. 🐘 Read aloud - when children are interested in a story, they’ll hang on your every word when you read to them, sharpening their listening skills. 🐘 Guess the sound - This is a fun one: fill plastic containers or easter eggs with random objects, have children shake them and guess what they are based on the sound (or, children can close eyes–always optional of course–as you shake or tap various items they try to guess) 🐘 The telephone game - a classic! Choose a phrase (the sillier the better, in my opinion) and whisper it to one child, have them whisper it to the next, and so on. Good listening helps it come out the other end somewhat like it started (or a hilarious version of it…) 🐘 A chime - The long sound of a chime (or you could pluck a guitar string, clink a glass with a metal spoon, anything where the sound lasts for a while) is an excellent focusing tool - ask children to listen until the sound disappears completely. 🐘 Freeze dance - Another classic: play any upbeat song, and when the music stops, freeze like statues. When kids are invested in this game, you better believe they’ll listen up! 🐘 Mindfulness - In my board book Listen Like an Elephant (part of our current Big Giveaway link - see below), children practice listening to sounds from left and right and from near and far with Elephant, who has REALLY big listening ears. 🐘 As a bonus, all of these listening exercises bring our attention into the present moment, the very definition of mindfulness. 🐘 _________________ Listen Like an Elephant is part of our big Big Back-to-School Bundle giveaway that ends tonight.
