Sound Beginnings
Grades Kindergarten-1, Inclusion

This is a must-have for speech therapy. Using a microphone, the student's voice controls the actions of characters on the screen. Say "Giggle" and the zany character will laugh! Play the space game, and raise and lower the pitch of your voice to avoid getting hit by enemy critters.

This is the ultimate program for early learners and children who have difficulties in vocalizing sounds.

Activities:
Jigsaw - Put a puzzle together with your voice! Every time you make a sound, a piece of the puzzle will appear. Select the number of puzzle pieces. You can even import your own photographs into a puzzle. Try this activity with a digital photograph of the student you are working with.

Jumping Creature - Each word you speak, is a command that controls the character on the screen. Say "Giggle" and the character will laugh. "Scream", "jump", "cry", "hop", and "sing" will have the character dancing a jig, and putting on a regular Vaudeville show for the student! The teacher can select the word commands that the student will speak.

Blow up Balloon - Students make an extended sound to blow up a balloon. Say "AAAAAHHHHHHHH" and the balloon gets bigger and rises until the student stops vocalizing.

Pitch - Change the pitch of your voice higher or lower, to move a game piece. Similar to "Space Invaders", creatures continuously approach, and you raise or lower your voice in order to move your hero up or down and avoid getting hit!

Space Game - Students say "fire" (or "hit", or "blast") to eliminate the enemy creatures. Say "left" or "right" and the character moves by your command to avoid getting hit. Teachers can select the number and speed of things coming at the player.

Record keeping automatically tracks all student activities and scores. The teacher setup includes printable student records, configuration controls for speed and frequency, and the ability to import pictures and photos into the Jigsaw puzzle.

We challenge users of all ages to explore the activities within Sound Beginnings without smiling!
