- Stimulating listening skills:
Listening is actively thinking and assigning
meaning. It is a thought process in which
hearing, concentration, distinguishing abilities,
remembering, but especially also understanding,
play an important role.
Listening and hearing
To be able to listen, you must be able to hear. Being
able to hear is a physical function and you cannot
change anything about it. But being able to
listen or listening skills can be improved through
practice. In the run-up to teaching reading,
it is important to exclude any doubts about
hearing ability. Consciously and systematically
working on listening comprehension among
young children is thus also recommended as
a preparation for reading comprehension and
vocabulary development.
Listening and language
development
Listening skills are the first language skill that
children master, and from here the development
of other language skills is launched.
The importance of stimulating listening skills
applies to mother-tongue speakers, but certainly
also to those who are multilingual or have a
different home language, because listening is
about the skills that ultimately set in motion all the
other processes (like processing, understanding
and then acting).
Short, intensive listening periods help young
children to actively learn to listen, and through
immersion in the theme they create a rich learning
situation for verbal language development.
Preparation
Copy and laminate the page with the various
games from the instructions, so that the children
can use this as a checking page.
Game
Distribute the cards in the class and ensure that
each child has six tokens per card.
Insert the CD-ROM in a player. The CD-ROM starts
with game 1. Note the sequence of the animal
sounds on your checking page so that when a
child shouts “Bingo’” you can check if it’s correct.
Make the game more difficult by giving a child
two or more cards.
The children can play these game independently,
because the sounds follows 3 specific sequences
and someone can check the game using the
instructions.
Enjoy ‘Animal Sounds Bingo!’
