Build your own picture of the sounds around you.

My Sound Map: illustrated worksheet with space for children’s ideas

Look, then try.

Draw an X in the middle of the box to represent you. Keep facing the same way and draw sounds around that mark. Place a sound farther away only if you can judge its distance; otherwise write “unsure”. Make a key explaining your symbols.

Stay with a grown-up away from roads, water edges and unfamiliar animals. Never follow a sound into an unsafe place. Listen indoors if needed. An adult helps cut cards. Keep claps and taps comfortable.

Use a finger, stylus or mouse in each drawing box. Type below it, or ask a grown-up to write your words. Your work stays in this tab. Save before refreshing or leaving.

ACTIVITY 1

My sound map

Start with an X for yourself, then draw the sounds around it.

Your ideas belong here. There is no score.

What are we learning?

Maps use symbols to represent observations. Direction and distance can be difficult to judge from sound, so uncertainty belongs in your record too.
