Did you know that animal sounds are different all over the world?
Well - not the way the animals make the sounds but they way different cultures interpret and express them?
Here are some sounds of a Rooster (crowing)
- Danish: kykyliky
- Dutch: kukeleku
- Finnish: kukko kiekuu
- French: cocorico
- German: kikeriki
- Greek: kikiriku/kikiriki
- Hebrew: coo-koo-ri-koo
- Hungarian: kukuriku
- Italian: chicchirichi
- Japanese: ko-ke-kok-ko-o
- Portuguese: cucurucu
- Russian: kukareku
- Swedish: kuckeliku
- Turkish: kuk-kurri-kuuu
- Urdu: kuklooku
Try them all and then ask your child which one is the closest to the one we sing in "Morning Sun Has Risen"?
Playing with sounds of words, experimenting with consonant and vowel placement are important foundations for phonological awareness. Learning to recognize, differentiate and reorganize sounds is a prerequisite for learning to read.
You can find the rooster sounds here along with other animal noises.
