Let’s think about how to make storm sounds using things you can find or do in class.
We need to fill in the table with ideas for making these four sounds:
- Rain
- Thunder
- Wind
- Your Choice (you pick another storm sound!)
Step 1: Think about what each storm sound is like.
→ Rain = light tapping, pattering, maybe fast or slow drops
→ Thunder = loud boom, rumble, deep shake
→ Wind = whooshing, whistling, blowing air
→ Your Choice = maybe lightning crack? Or hail bouncing? Or trees creaking?
Step 2: Think of ways to make those sounds with your body, instruments, or classroom objects.
For RAIN:
→ Tap fingers on desk lightly
→ Shake a bottle with rice or beans inside
→ Rub hands together softly
For THUNDER:
→ Slam a book shut loudly
→ Hit a drum or bucket hard
→ Stomp feet and say “BOOM!”
For WIND:
→ Blow through a straw or whistle
→ Wave paper back and forth quickly
→ Say “whooooo” while moving arms like wind
For YOUR CHOICE — let’s pick LIGHTNING CRACK!
→ Snap fingers sharply
→ Crack a ruler on the edge of a desk
→ Clap hands very fast once
Now we’ll write down one idea per box. We don’t have to draw here since this is text, but if you were doing it on paper, you’d sketch little pictures — like fingers tapping, a drum being hit, etc.
Final Answer:
Rain: Tap fingers on desk
Thunder: Slam a book shut
Wind: Blow through a straw
Your Choice: Snap fingers (for lightning)
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of storm worksheet.
