Instructions
Ask the children to close their eyes and pretend that they are outdoors in a park. Encourage them to describe what they see, such as squirrels in trees and clouds in the sky. Similarly, discuss what they smell, feel, taste, and hear.
After they open their eyes write "Five Senses" on the board or easel. Ask the children to describe what the words mean. Help explain that these are the abilities to see, hear, taste, smell, and feel. List these "sense" words on the board, pointing to your eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and hands as you write and discuss the words.
From a box or large bag invite one child at a time to remove an object; as a group discuss the "sense" used with that particular item.
