Nursery - Listening And Attention - What Is My Animal?
During our listening and attention activity the children showed great curiosity towards our mystery animal in the box.The children were given 3 possible animals and were tasked with listening to clues relating to the mystery animal to find the correct match. Each child listened very carefully to to various clues such as ‘my animal can fly’ or ‘my animal likes to jump’, and used those clues to match the characteristics to a specific animal, either by pointing, reaching, or vocalizing the animal's name or sound. While individual children showed varying speeds of processing, the group as a whole successfully narrowed down the choices, often arriving at the correct animal after one or two clues. This activity effectively engaged the group in a shared listening experience, prompting active participation in a problem-solving task.
