Bird sound karaoke
Objectives:
- Learning to recognize common bird sounds.
- Using creativity and out of the box thinking.
- Possible learning objectives around birds.
Preparation: Finding local/national bird sound recordings from YouTube, or bird sound karaoke (if lucky).
Tools needed: Recordings of bird sounds or if possible, ready transcriptions of the sounds or bird song karaoke. If no such material is available, the participants can listen to a bird sound recording and transcribe it themselves the best they can.
Description
Participants choose a bird whose sound they want to play and perform. They take turns to imitate the bird sound, either reading it from the paper or using the video bird karaoke as background. Other participants try to recognize the bird, give points on the accuracy and creativity.
Depending on the context, more learning can be added: what different sounds birds make (alarm, call, song...), which time of year and what kind of nature you can expect to find a certain bird. Also the regional differences: same bird sounds different in southern Europe and the Nordics.
A cultural aspect: how are bird sounds in different languages "what does the pigeon/crow/seagull say in language X"?
