Click, click, click

Swoosh…swoosh

“he missed the first bus…”

Clickity, clickity

Whirrrrr, whirr..

“ahem…”

Mumble mumble

Ba boom

“hey hey!  Are you cookin’ back here?”

“Awwww”

“Yeah, yeah…”

Clickity, clickity click

Cough

Click…click..

Crack, crack

“achoo!”

“ahem..”

Whirrrrr, whirr..

Crinkle, crinkle ….whirr

 

Take a moment to just listen.  Jot down everything you “hear”.  Use sound words to describe what you hear.

Send it along in the comments:)
