. . . . . . . . What do you think these boys and girls are going to do? . Oh, they're going to listen to a record. Shall we listen to? . Hello. I am Jumbo the Clown. Now if you pretend you can see me. Here I am. Let's play some games with sounds. But first, let's take a deep breath and feel it way down here. All right. Now let it out. Have you ever seen a clown like me with a great big mouth that is wide and free? Now see if you can make the sounds that I make. But watch my lips and listen. Ah. Oh. Yee. Ooh. Now see if you can make these sounds. Ah. Oh. Yee. Ooh. Now wide for ah. Try it. Ah. No, no, no, wider yet. Now don't forget. Ah. Good. Now round for oh. Get your lips out round. You'll make the sound. Oh. And a big smile for ee. Ee. And a quick change for ooh. Ooh. Now say it. Ah. Oh. Ee. Ooh. Ah. Oh. Ee. Ooh. Meow. Oh, what? What was that? Meow. Meow. Meow. Why, here is a kitten with four little paws. I wonder if we can say that word paw. Paw. Paw. Paw. And now if we listen. Meow. We can hear the kitten. Meow. Meow. I wonder if we can sound like a kitten. Meow. Meow. Meow. Oh, look, the kitten is lapping her milk. Lapping, lapping, lapping her milk. Now you say it. Lapping, lapping, lapping her milk. And now, little kitten, we must say good-bye. Bye-bye, little kitten. Bye-bye. Now, who would like to tell us how to say good-bye? Now, who would like to try to make the sounds we learned about the kitten? Gary. Paw, paw, paw. That's right. Meow, meow, meow. That's right. Good. Steve? Lapping, lapping, lapping. Fine. Now, would you like to hear the clown tell us about some more sounds? Yes. Hello. Here I am again. Hey, look. Oh, what a... Why, it's a rabbit. A rabbit. See, I know a poem about a rabbit. Now, in this poem, we will want to say together, running around a rock. Now, you say it. Running around a rock. Now, let's say the poem together. A big white rabbit can jump and hop when running around a rock, when running around a rock. He has a fluffy white tail that bounces when running around a rock, when running around a rock. His feet go up and his head goes down when running around a rock, when running around a rock. Did you like that poem? Now, let's see what else we can find in this box. Why, it's a toy drum. Do you know what kind of sound a drum makes? Listen. Thump-a-dee-thump, thump-a-dee-thump. Now, you try it. I'll play it. Thump-a-dee-thump, thump-a-dee-thump, thump-a-dee-thump. Thump-a-dee-thump, thump-a-dee-thump, thump-a-dee-thump. Now, let's try another T.H. sound, which we can use in a story about Susan. Susan lives with her mother, her father, and her brother. She waves goodbye to her mother, her father, and her brother. So we say the story together. Susan lives with her mother, her father, and her brother. And Susan says goodbye to her mother, and her father, and her brother. Now, would you like to learn a poem about Susan? We want to say, skipping to school, skipping to school. Now, you try it. Skipping to school, skipping to school. All right? Good. Susan wears a pretty plaid skirt when skipping to school, when skipping to school. She carries her lunch in a red and white box when skipping to school, when skipping to school. She always is careful when crossing a street when skipping to school, when skipping to school. Did you like that poem? What was that sound? Was that the sound of a train? Can we make the sound of a train? Now, can you hear the train? Let's look at it. Goodbye, boys and girls. That was fun. All right. Who can find some pictures of animals in this room that make the sounds that we learned from the record? All right, Steve, Nancy. We did learn the sound of the kitten. We did learn the sound of the drum. And we did not learn the sound of the penguin. And we did not learn the sound of the reindeer. And we do know the sound of the train. Oh, could we ask out the poem about the bunny? Of course. May I be it? Of course. Are you people over here ready to say the poem? Yeah. Are you ready? All right. A big white rabbit carrying junk and pot when running around a rock, when running around a rock. Would you like to act out this poem or the one about Susan? Learning speech sounds can be fun.
