Challenge your listening ears in this unique matching game! In Sound Salad, players listen to a sound and must match it to the correct picture. Some of the matches are simple (a dog barking goes with the picture of a dog), others are more subtle (a rhythmic pattern is represented by strategically placed stones), and yet others are a bit imaginative (what sound DOES a zebra make?) but players can choose their preferred level of difficulty, all the way up to an advanced, timed level. The found-object collage style art is fantastic and lends a welcome sense of texture to this already sensory-rich app.The game itself is great practice in phonological awareness--the ability to distinguish different sounds-- which is a very important element of early literacy as well as musical proficiency.
