What is the difference between a ding and a bong sound?
- A “ding” is a small, high sound. A “bong” is a big or low sound.
These vowel sounds often suggest that difference.
Consonants like ‘t’ and ‘d’ and ‘k’ often go with high sounds.
Consonants like ‘g’ and ‘b’ often go with low sounds.

Interjection = word (or sound) you can say to show what you think or how you feel; it doesn’t carry grammatical information
Most onomatopoeia words can be interjections, but many interjections aren’t really onomatopoeia.
Some interjections are just sounds, so the “word” we write is onomatopoeic for that sound.
tsk (or the verb “tisk”)

Comic handout part 3 - choose the correct interjection or onomatopoeia for each situation
1 Oops! (Or “Uh-oh!”)
2 Ah hah!!!
3 Mmm
4 Phew! (We also say, especially with young kids, pee-you / P U.)
5 Shh
6 Splash
7 Whew! (This is supposed to be a sigh of relief.)
8 Ouch!
9 Hah!
10 Hmm
---
Intonation of “mmm” or “hmm” can give different meanings.

On the back of the handout, choose three onomatopoeia and make three sentences with them.
tsk -> tisk
bzz -> buzz
ssss -> hiss
