Group Auditory Games

          1.  Each child is given a piece of paper with something on it like dog, horse, or pig.  They are instructed to listen carefully and follow the directions for coloring one area at a time like color the head blue or color the legs green.  The goals include manual dexterity, distinguishing colors, and following simple directions.

          2.  Ear training with using different rhythm band instruments to distinguish notes alike, loud or soft, or how are they different.

          3.  Ask the children to name the loudest and softest sounds they can think of like whisper “hello” or “clap loud.”  Be creative.
