Evaluation: Note down what all sounds each child matched and identified. Keep a record for knowing further progress when the activity is repeated.

Skills developed: Auditory discrimination Coqnitive skills of observing, matching and identifying the sounds

Conclusion: With this activity they will be more aware of their auditory skills and analyze how many sounds they can match and identify.

SORTING AND GROUPING OBJECTS
