 * Make a tape of sounds from the environment. Example: crickets chirping, cell phones ringing, water running, a thunderstorm, and a kitty meowing.

The younger children especially like this activity.

 * Word ping-pong - think of a word realting to that topic.
 * 4 corners of the room - ask a question, children have to move to the corner with the correct answer.
