Sound Beginnings
Grades Kindergarten-1, Inclusion
This is a must-have for speech therapy. Using a
microphone, the student's voice controls the actions of characters on the
screen. Say "Giggle" and the zany character will laugh! Play the space game,
and raise and lower the pitch of your voice to avoid getting hit by enemy critters.
This is the ultimate program for early learners and children who have
difficulties in vocalizing sounds.
Activities:
Jigsaw - Put a puzzle together with your voice! Every time you make a sound,
a piece of the puzzle will appear. Select the number of puzzle pieces. You
can even import your own photographs into a puzzle. Try this activity with a
digital photograph of the student you are working with.
Jumping Creature - Each word you speak, is a command that controls the
character on the screen. Say "Giggle" and the character will laugh.
"Scream", "jump", "cry", "hop", and "sing" will have the character dancing a
jig, and putting on a regular Vaudeville show for the student! The teacher
can select the word commands that the student will speak.
Blow up Balloon - Students make an extended sound to blow up a balloon. Say
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH" and the balloon gets bigger and rises until the student
stops vocalizing.
Pitch - Change the pitch of your voice higher or lower, to move a game
piece. Similar to "Space Invaders", creatures continuously approach, and you
raise or lower your voice in order to move your hero up or down and avoid
getting hit!
Space Game - Students say "fire" (or "hit", or "blast") to eliminate the
enemy creatures. Say "left" or "right" and the character moves by your
command to avoid getting hit. Teachers can select the number and speed of
things coming at the player.
Record keeping automatically tracks all student activities and scores. The
teacher setup includes printable student records, configuration controls for
speed and frequency, and the ability to import pictures and photos into the
Jigsaw puzzle.
We challenge users of all ages to explore the activities within Sound
Beginnings without smiling!
