How to play (short description)

• One cylinder with a red lid and one with a blue lid contain the same sound.

• Children shake the cans, compare the sounds, and find the matching pairs.

• Increase: Sort by volume or play with closed eyes to train the sense of hearing even more.
  

An adult uses three red and three blue pairs of sound cans that differ clearly in sound. First, he shakes a blue can. Then he searches for the matching red can by shaking. If the sounds match, both cans are set aside as a pair. Once all pairs are found, it is checked against the markings on the bottom to see if the matching is correct. Each blue can has the same color marking as its red partner can.

After that, the cans are mixed again, and the child is asked to sort the pairs by sound themselves. When the child can confidently match three pairs, the number of cans is gradually increased until all six pairs are in use.

Variations:

• The child sorts the cans by volume – from quiet to loud or vice versa.

• The blue and red cans are distributed in two different rooms. Then one can is shaken, and the child in the other room should find the can with the same sound.

• For children with low attention or slight distractibility, it is advisable to conduct the exercise with eyes closed, so that the sense of sight is turned off and concentration on listening is easier.
