Auditory Signal

Auditory Signal

Use an auditory signal when students are focused on worksheets or matching cards. 

For example:

• Focus: ‘Look at my card. When I tap, hold up the card that looks just like my card.’
• Think time: Pause for about two seconds. 
• Cue: ‘Get ready.’
• Interval: Pause for one second. 
• Signal: Give an audible signal. The signal is any kind of ‘ap’: a snap, a clap, or a tap. 

Here is an example exercise that uses an auditory signal to teaching Matching Cards.
