Okay, adventure time! Let’s create a fun jungle walk story for 3-5 year olds, designed to work with a jungle-themed soundboard. Imagine you have buttons for sounds like: Monkey Chatter, Parrot Squawk, Tiger Roar, Elephant Trumpet, Snake Hiss, River Splash, Jungle, Rain/Thunder. Check out our main sound story page Guide to Delivering a Sound Story for our other stories and Sound Boards

Walk Through The Jungle Sound Story

(Start with an adventurous, excited voice)

Adventure time! Let’s give a cheer!
Put boots on now, the jungle’s near!
We’ll walk so quiet, on our toes,
Deep in the jungle, where green stuff grows!

(Use a slightly hushed, walking pace voice)

Through leafy trees, we softly creep,
What’s that noise while others sleep?
High in the branches, look who’s there!
A funny MONKEY in the air!
He chatters, “Ooh-ooh, aah-aah!” with glee,
(Prompt the child) Can you make that sound for me?
(Press: Monkey Chatter)

(Bright, noticing voice)

See bright colours flash nearby!
A feathered friend goes flying high!
A pretty PARROT, green and blue,
She wants to SQUAWK hello to you!
(Prompt the child) Can you make her noisy sound?
Let’s hear that SQUAWK all around!
(Press: Parrot Squawk)

(Slowing down, thoughtful voice)

Oh look ahead, what do we see?
A wide blue RIVER, wild and free!
Let’s jump on stones, don’t slip or fall!
SPLASH! goes the water, cool for all!
(Prompt the child) Can you make that watery sound?
As the river splashes all around?
(Press: River Splash)

(Quiet, slightly suspenseful voice)

Okay, past the croc, we tread,
Be quiet now… look down ahead!
Low in the grass, a long green shape,
A slithery SNAKE makes its escape!
It makes a sound, a gentle HISSSS…
(Prompt the child) Can you make a sound like this?
(Press: Snake Hiss)

(Big, stomping voice)

THUMP! THUMP! The ground begins to shake!
What giant footsteps does it make?
An ELEPHANT grey, so big and grand,
With floppy ears across the land!
He lifts his trunk, a mighty call!
A TRUMPET sound for one and all!
(Prompt the child) Let’s hear that trumpet, loud and tall!
(Press: Elephant Trumpet)

(Pause, then a slightly deeper, stealthy voice)

Be quiet now, and listen near,
Whose stripy shadow does appear?
With orange fur and paws so wide,
The sneaky TIGER tries to hide!
He gives a stretch and lets out a ROAR!
(Prompt the child) Can you make that sound… and more?
(Press: Tiger Roar)

(Voice changes, looking up, a little concerned)

Look up! The sky is turning grey,
Looks like some RAIN is on the way!
Plip, plop! The drops begin to fall,
Then RUMBLE, BOOM! Hear thunder call!
(Prompt the child) Let’s make the sounds of storm and rain!
Before the sun comes out again!
(Press: Rain/Thunder)

(Calmer, concluding voice)

What fun we had, hip hip hooray!
Exploring the jungle sounds today!
Monkeys, parrots, crocs that snap,
Elephants, tigers, avoiding traps!
Snakes and rivers, rain came down,
The best explorers in the town!
Now tiptoe home, our trip is done,
Our jungle walk was lots of fun!

Tips for Delivery:

• Use Big Actions: Stomp for boots/elephants, swing arms for monkeys, flap for parrots, slither hands for snakes, make a trunk with your arm, splash hands for the river, look up for rain.
• Vary Your Pace: Slow down for suspense (snake), speed up for excitement (crossing river).
• Sound Effects: Make your own little rustles, stomps, and squawks along with the soundboard.
• Ask Questions: “What do you think is making that noise?” “Have you ever seen a monkey?”
• Let Them Lead: If the child wants to press the lion roar when you’re talking about the monkey, that’s okay! Let them explore the sounds freely. The story is a guide, not a strict script.
