Mix it up
Use vocal sounds only, a themed sound set or two sounds played in sequence.
Make it a great round
Avoid very loud, startling or breakable objects.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
