- Collect resources that children can listen to and learn to distinguish between. These may include games that involve guessing which object makes a particular sound.
- Encourage listening in its widest sense; this could include opportunities to listen to human noises, non-human noises, objects that make interesting noise, weather and other outdoor sounds.
- Provide opportunities to listen to the sounds of the local area, the home and the natural world.
- Listen to sounds that are easily identifiable and mysterious noises that are not. Model and encourage playful imaginative responses.
