Sounds of Mali - activity
Goats resting in a street in Timbuktu

If you had to pick six sounds to describe the character of your own country, what would you chose?

For this activity you need to find sounds and pictures which evoke your own country. You can make recordings, or describe the sounds. But make sure all the sounds you chose are interesting and different from each other. Print out the worksheet to get started.

When you're finished, why don't you make a display for your classroom or clubhouse about the sounds of Mali and the sounds of where you live?
