The links below will allow you to download 2 list of Onomatopoeias (Onomatopoeia is a word or a grouping of words that imitates the sound it is describing, suggesting its source object, such as "click," "clang," "buzz," or animal noises such as "oink", "quack", "flap", "slurp", or "meow".

I ofen use Onomatopoeias when clients find it difficult to find a word to discribe their emotion. It works wonderful with children.
