Instrumental Sounds Activity Pack - Phonics Phase 1

The "Instrumental Sounds Activity Pack" from the "All Aboard Phonics - Phase 1 Teacher Manual" is a comprehensive guide designed to introduce young learners to the world of music and sounds through engaging activities. One such activity, "Adjust the Volume," aims to teach children about volume control by using lion and mouse flashcards to signal when to play their instruments loudly or quietly. This activity not only familiarises them with musical instruments but also with the concepts of loud and quiet, enhancing their auditory discrimination skills.

Another activity, "Spot the Instrument," challenges children to recognise the sounds of different percussion instruments. With two identical sets of instruments, one set is played behind a screen while the children listen and attempt to identify the instrument by sound alone. This activity is excellent for developing their auditory recognition and memory. The manual offers a variety of activities, each with clear objectives and instructions, such as "Outside Beats," which explores sounds made by drumsticks on various surfaces outdoors, and "Captain's Sound," where children copy and repeat sounds led by a student 'captain.' The activities are supported by resources like instruments, flashcards, and audio tracks available on the Learner Management System, making the learning process interactive and fun for the children.
