About Sound Pairs
This is a pairs game for the ears. Every card hides a sound, such as a barking dog, a xylophone note or a drum, and it plays when your child taps it. Two cards that sound alike make a pair, and each found pair shows its picture.
How to play
- Tap a card and listen to its sound.
- Tap another card and find the one that sounds the same.
- On a keyboard, move with the arrow keys and press Space to listen.
What your child practices
