Sounds For Four Seasons

I thought of this project this morning after seeing a four seasons project posted on Twitter. I thought why not do a listening activity for the four seasons. It took me hours to do this today since most of the sounds are newly recorded. It was hard to think up everything for all the seasons, especially spring, but I hope you enjoy this. To have some of the sounds make sense to the kids in regards to the seasons, you can combine this with other projects in a seasons theme. It was brought to my attention that having an apple or popcorn to represent fall and winter might not be so obvious to some kids since those things are here all year round, but I tried coming up with a food related sound for each season. Of course, a food item for spring is missing because I was at a loss. I think it turned out fine though.

  7. Hi! I was trying to download your seasons sounds (looks so fun!) and I keep getting an Error 404 message from dropbox when I click on the link. :( Any way to fix that?

  8. Hi Megan,
    Thank you for your interest. I just realized that everything in my public folder on dropbox got deleted somehow. I have reuploaded the files and have posted a new link for the four seasons sounds. I will be fixing the other sound activity posts in the next couple of days as well if you are interested in those.
