Every night my daughters (ages 4 and 5) ask all of us kinds of fascinating concerns. Some of them have to do with things that I havent thought of in a very long time. A few of them arent simple to answer in such a way that they can understand. And a few of them are a bit of both. That was case one night recently when my five-year-old asked, “whats onomatopoeia imply?” I did my best to explain that it is a word like “moo” that is created from the sound that it makes..

After supper and my rather not successful description of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to look for a video that may assist my daughters better understand what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I found this cute and short video about onomatopoeia. Ill warn you, the song is type of catchy (if youre a five-year-old)..

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