Every night my daughters (ages 4 and 5) ask us all type of fascinating questions. Some of them are about things that I have not thought of in a long time. A few of them arent simple to respond to in a manner that they can comprehend. And a few of them are a bit of both. That was case one night last week when my five-year-old asked, “whats onomatopoeia indicate?” I did my best to explain that it is a word like “moo” that is created from the sound that it makes..

On a related note, Next Vista for Learning hosts a fantastic video description of onomatopoeia. The video was produced by a high school trainee for among Next Vistas lots of student video creation contests.

After supper and my somewhat not successful description of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to attempt to find a video that might help my daughters better comprehend what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I found this brief and charming music video about onomatopoeia. Ill alert you, the tune is kind of catchy (if youre a five-year-old)..
