Quinn (patient): I love playing the listening games at the hospital. My favourite one is the boat game.
When I hear a sound [BEEP], I have to jump the person in the boat.
Specialist: Well done Quinn! Get your next man ready. Let's listen again, listening for a quiet sound.
[BEEP]
Good job! Super listening!
And this time Quinn, we're going to listen for a squeaky sound. Let's get ready to listen.
[BEEP]
Can I get a high five?
And this time Quinn, we're going to listen to some rumbly noises.
[BEEP]
Good job! Well done Quinn! For the next game we're going to wear some headphones.
We're going to listen, we're going to wait,
[BEEP]
You're right! When our noise comes on the stick we go.
Which one is next?
You're having the green one, and I'll have this green one. Ready, so we listen, and we wait...
[BEEP]
Good waiting Quinn, well done! Good job!
[BEEP]
There's your noise. Good job!
Next, we are going to pop on my special listening headband.
When our noise comes we can jump our balls onto the stick.
[BEEP]
Good job!
Which one next?
Okay, get the white ball ready. Listen for another noise.
[BEEP]
All by yourself! Well done! Good job!
All done.
Quinn: Sometimes waiting and listening for the sound is hard.
We can play the 'Ready, Steady, Go!' game anywhere, anytime. [Hold a piece of lego to your ear and then take it down and stack it on the 'Go']
Quinn's Mum: Ready... Steady... Go!
Well done! Shall we do another one?
Ready... Steady... Go! Well done!
Ready... Steady... Go!
Quinn: I like looking in my teddy's ears.
