Adding sound to wall displays

Each term, my son has to complete a 'project board' on the topic his class has been studying. He is provided with a piece of card (size STRA2) which he is expected to fill with mounted pieces of writing and artwork relevant to the topic. He is also encouraged to 'be CREATIVE'. This usually means some form of interactivity, a game for instance.

For his last project board on 'Rainforests' I bought a sound module like you find in some greetings cards and he created a 'lift the flap for sounds of the rainforest' element.

As this went down well last time (especially with his peers), he asked for another one for his 'World War 2' project board.

They are very simple to setup. Here are instructions for creating your own 'lift the flap for the sound of ...': You will need a recordable sound module such as this, a piece of card cut according to the template and some thin double sided sticky tape. For the card, we used an old folder.

1. Cut out the card and fold where indicated.
2. Choose and record your sound according to the instructions provided.
3. Carefully stick your sound module onto your card.
4. Cut two strips of double sided sticky tape and apply:

5. Fold bottom flap to cover the sound module.
6. Add writing and artwork.

As the modules are re-recordable, it may be possible to re-use them for future displays but I have not tried this.
