It's a very special day for Jamal. It's his birthday! There are lots of fun things to do at his party and lots of new sounds to listen to.

We link each sound with words to help develop your little one's vocabulary and engagement with the world around them.

Brought to you by Small Wardour, makers of award-winning podcasts for kids. Sing along with Lucy for the Birthday song, lyrics below.

Verse 1

Birthday parties are full of noise

Cakes and presents, laughter and joy

Lighting up candles as everyone sings

Tearing the wrapping from gifts they bring

Together we celebrate with a cheer

As our birthday comes once a year

Verse 2

Listen close to what we have heard

For every sound we learn a new word

Quiet ones, noisy ones whistles and clangs

Booming and whispering, crashes and bangs

Our sound adventures have just begun

Let’s listen and learn everyone
