After supper and my rather unsuccessful explanation of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to search for a video that might help my children better understand what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I found this charming and short video about onomatopoeia. Ill caution you, the tune is sort of catchy (if youre a five-year-old)..

Every night my children (ages 4 and 5) ask us all type of intriguing concerns. Some of them are about things that I have not thought about in a very long time. A few of them arent easy to address in a manner that they can comprehend. And some of them are a little bit of both. That was case one night last week when my five-year-old asked, “whats onomatopoeia indicate?” I did my finest to describe that it is a word like “moo” that is created from the noise that it makes..

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