Play Tip!
Hey, What's that Sound? To help children match sounds with pictures of instruments, try putting pictures of musical instruments on the Cheap Talk's squares, and add the recorded sounds of the instruments. Here is a game to play: Play the sampled sounds for the child covering the square pressed. Can the child find the right instrument picture? If the sound is the same, they did it!
