Did you know that we have five special ways to learn about the world around us? These are called our five senses! Let’s find out what they are and how they help us every day.
We have two eyes that help us see everything around us. We can see colors, shapes, and all the things we love, like toys and friends!
Our two ears let us hear lots of different sounds. We can listen to music, hear birds singing, and even hear our friends when they talk to us.
We can feel things with our skin and fingers. We can touch soft teddy bears, feel the warmth of the sun, and even know when something is cold or hot.
Our nose helps us smell all sorts of things. We can smell yummy cookies baking, fresh flowers, and even the rain!
Our tongue helps us taste the food we eat. We can taste sweet ice cream, sour lemons, and salty popcorn. Yum!
Our five senses help us enjoy and understand the world. They are like superpowers that let us see, hear, touch, smell, and taste everything around us. Isn’t that amazing?
Now, let’s sing a fun song to remember our five senses!
With my two eyes, I can see all around.
With my two ears, I can hear lots of sounds.
With my ten fingers and my skin, I can touch.
With my nose, I can smell so much.
With my tongue, I taste the food that I eat.
Oh, my five senses are so good to me!
Let’s sing it again and have fun learning about our senses!
Sense Detective Walk: Take a walk around your home or classroom and become a “Sense Detective.” Use your eyes to spot different colors and shapes, your ears to listen for various sounds, your skin to feel different textures, your nose to identify different smells, and your tongue to taste a small snack. After the walk, share with your friends or family what you discovered with each sense!
Five Senses Sorting Game: Gather a collection of items like a soft toy, a bell, a lemon, a flower, and a piece of chocolate. Sort these items into groups based on which sense you use the most to experience them. For example, the bell goes with hearing, and the lemon goes with tasting. Discuss why each item belongs to its group.
Sense Matching Challenge: Create a matching game with pictures or objects that represent each of the five senses. For example, a picture of a rainbow for seeing, a drum for hearing, a feather for touching, a rose for smelling, and an apple for tasting. Try to match each picture or object with the correct sense and explain why it matches.
