Snake sounds for kids

SaysHiss

What sound does a snake make?

A snake hisses: ssss! Snakes push air out hard to make a hiss that means “back off”. Snakes have no outside ears and feel vibrations through the ground instead. A rattlesnake doesn’t use its voice at all: it shakes hollow rings at the end of its tail.

Try it together

Hiss a long “sssss” on one breath and see who can make their snake the longest.

One animal, drawn three ways

Every card in Kidster comes in three styles. Some children love the cartoon, others recognise the real animal sooner. A parent picks the style in the Parent Zone, and the sound stays the same.
