Every night my children (ages 4 and 5) ask us all type of fascinating questions. A few of them have to do with things that I have not believed about in a very long time. A few of them arent simple to answer in a method 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 mean?” I did my best to discuss that it is a word like “moo” that is created from the noise that it makes..

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

After dinner and my rather not successful explanation of onomatopoeia, I turned to YouTube to look for a video that might help my daughters better comprehend what onomatopoeia is. Thats where I discovered this charming and short video about onomatopoeia. Ill caution you, the song is sort of catchy (if youre a five-year-old)..
