Duration

45 minutes

Number of participants

Adaptable. Depends on the equipment.

  • Sound recorders
  • Microphones and headphones
  • Listening equipment
  • This file printed and cut into small pieces of paper (each with one sound description).
  • You can also use this file with images instead of words.

Description step by step

  • Form sub-groups of 3 or 4 people.
  • Ask each sub-group to pick 3 small papers (with words or images, regarding verbal  skills of the group).
  • Each group has to (secretly) record the sounds described on their 3 pieces of paper
  • Everyone gathers. Each subgroup has to make the others guess what the sounds are supposed to be.

Tips for the trainer

In this fun activity, it is interesting to show participants how easy it is to fool the audience with sound. A sound can easily be used for something else: the crumpled paper for the crackling of fire, for example.

This activity will be particularly useful if the group ventures into stop-motion creation, for which the entire soundtrack will have to be produced.
