Soft or Loud Sorting Cards for Infants

(0)
This science resource is designed for young children to explore and understand the concept of sound through visual activities. The resource includes 3 pages, each featuring 6 colour cards that children can cut out and sort into categories based on the sound’s volume. The cards depict various sounds, helping children distinguish between “loud” and “soft” sounds. Examples include cards with images of loud sounds such as yelling people and a washing machine, alongside soft sounds like someone asleep and children whispering. Each page includes a mix of adjectives (e.g., yelling, whispering) and objects (e.g., drill, softball) to help children understand how different sounds can be categorized. In addition to the colour versions, there are black-and-white versions of the same sheets for children to colour in. This allows them to engage more deeply with the activity and reinforces their understanding of the concepts as they add their own colours to the pictures. This resource uses symbols and supports SEND children, EYFS and KS1. Boardmaker licenced.
