Take a walk outside with an adult and listen for animal sounds. Can you hear birds singing? Or dogs barking? Listen closely. Think about what kind of animal makes each sound. When you get home, describe or draw pictures of the animals you think made each sound. If you have time, try this at night! Do you hear different animal sounds at night?
