Description
Audio Boggle is an activity that lets you listen to a track (that you make yourself) and see what you can hear! To make a recording to use for Audio Boggle, you’ll need a microphone, a sound recorder, and a way to get the recordings onto a computer. Make a recording of a soundscape, or record individual sounds that are interesting and that people will probably be able to recognize. Edit your tracks using a sound editing program; Audacity is a good one and it’s free. Have two people listen to the tracks with earphones and an earphone splitter (this helps them hear the sounds better), and ask them to write down as many sounds as they can identify.
