misery animal child’s game

Posted by Sabrina on
the game is played by having the child guess what animal the misery animal 
is and then having then pass by the animal and activating a random animal sound. if the child guesses wrong they go to the back of the line. if they guess right then they win the game. there is also a party sound and if triggered the kids all dance.
I tried work with a music shield but after countless attempts i could not get it to work 
so here only have been able to program the arduino with a ultrasonic module HC-SR04 distance sensor to demonstrate something like what i was attempting.     

                           when the red light goes off it means the distance sensor has been tripped.

i had a little trouble with the cooperation of my little brother because the camera was on lol be he likes the game.

HC-SR04 Ping distance sensor]
VCC to arduino 5v GND to arduino GND
Echo to Arduino pin 13 Trig to Arduino pin 12
Red POS to Arduino pin 11
Green POS to Arduino pin 10
560 ohm resistor to both LED NEG and GRD power rail
