- Play catch the sheep
- Home- to record different sounds on their phones so they can play them at the next gathering and the others can try to guess what the sound is.
- Broken phone
- Recognising sounds - put different rattling objects in 3-4 opaque boxes - grains of rice, lentils, millet and the children have to guess what is in the boxes by the sound
