Your body has five helpers that tell you about the world.
In this lesson you will:
- Name the five senses.
- Match each sense to its body part.
- Use the senses to describe an object.
The Five Helpers
Each sense has a special body part.
- Eyes — sight: you see colours and shapes.
- Ears — hearing: you hear sounds and voices.
- Nose — smell: you smell food and flowers.
- Tongue — taste: you taste sweet, sour and salty.
- Skin — touch: you feel hot, cold, soft and rough.
Using Your Senses
Hold an orange. Look at its colour, feel its skin, smell it, and later taste it. Your senses work together to tell you about the orange.
Sense hunt
Find something soft. Which sense tells you it is soft?
Find something that makes a sound. Which sense tells you about the sound?
Warning Never taste or smell something you do not know. Always ask an adult first.
Practice
- Name the body part you use to hear.
- Close your eyes and ask an adult to give you a safe object. Describe it using touch and smell.
- Draw one food you like and circle the sense you use to enjoy it most.
Recap
Sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch are the five senses. Each one uses a special body part.
