What sound does a conch shell make?
The bouncing air inside a conch shell produces a unique sound which sounds just like the ocean.
How do you make a blowing conch?
Blow out forcefully through your lips, causing them to vibrate. Use your stomach muscles to blow the air out of your lungs through your mouth, keeping your lips close together. Your lips should vibrate slightly, causing the conch to make a noise like a horn.
