Voices Game

Materials You Need: None

What You Can Do Together: From the moment your baby begins life, he/she is communicating with you and you with her/him. There are various activities and strategies that you can apply to improve your baby's understanding of language.

To begin this activity, you should lay your baby on a soft surface or carry him/her in your arms, looking face to face. Start by singing a song with a high tone or a childish tone. Most babies react positively to this tone. You can see that his/her heart beats faster, and he/she will be happy and agitated.

Then sing the same song, but this time in a lower or softer tone. You will see that their reaction will be more serene and happy.

Using different tones is an excellent idea for your baby to begin to recognize other voices and thus be able to express the emotions that they provoke; they will also help you to observe your baby's reactions.

What Your Child is Learning: In addition to stimulating the recognition of different tones of voice, this activity will your baby to differentiate human voices from other sounds, which will facilitate his/her language development and improve your child’s communication skills.
