About this resource

This material is intended to help students understand appropriate use of volume, including a voice level chart and a sorting activity.

1. Voice Level Chart

The following voice levels are included:

1- Screaming Voice

2- Outside Voice

3- Talking Voice

4- Soft Voice (Whisper)

5- Voice Off

2. Sorting Activity

Students will learn appropriate use of voice volume for the situations by sorting picture cards into each voice level.

This can be used for whole class instruction, small group activity or one-on-one lesson.

In the classroom

Recognise and self-select an appropriate voice level for the current classroom activity.

Post the chart near the classroom door or at eye level so students can reference it throughout the day.
Point to the current expected level before starting a new activity (e.g., independent work vs. group discussion).
