Dive into the detail:

Multiple sound-object association games, developed by Teacher of the Deaf, Christina Berghoff, to help young children link the sounds they are hearing to their meaning. Based around characters and objects from the popular “Ling Ling Bird Hears with his Magic Ears” book, these games and activities focus on “learning to listen” sounds, with beautiful print-ready materials and top tips for supporting listening while you play. Games include “Knock, knock! Who is it?”, “Knock, knock! Who’s in the box?”, and “Knock, knock! Who’s under here?”. Additional materials include printable classroom banners, “It’s time to play…” screen/smartboard displays, printable player certificates and bonus sound-themed colouring pages for winding down afterwards.
