Sounds to create Props used Least effective Most effective MP3
Rain Plastic lid, and draining
water on it with a flannel.
Tapping on a metal sign. The plastic made it sound like rain pitter-
pattering on the ground.
Wind Wafted a piece of paper
around outside.
Wafted it too rapidly, so didn’t really sound like
wind.

I think the washing machine was the most unusual.
