Who says they saw the boat?
Lea and Mika talk about the river. Read both cards. Put one cross. You do not need to
remember what they say.
LEA
“I saw the boat come in to the bank.”
MIKA
“I heard a splash behind the reeds. I did not see the boat.”
Lea.
Mika.

What could have made the splash?
Mika does not say what made the sound. Make up one idea and draw it behind the reeds.
This is your idea, not something the card tells us.
5
Guess a sound
Make a sound with your hands while a friend closes their eyes. Let your friend guess what you did.
Show it afterwards. What did your friend hear, and what did your friend guess? Swap roles.
