Five Senses

July 11, 2016 by Mary Amoson Leave a Comment


Five Senses {Print & Play Pack}I am working away on all unit my class will be covering my class will be covering at the start of the school year,
because every veteran teacher KNOWS how crazy the first month in Kindergarten can be.

To open the topic of our Five Senses,
I start with this section,
asking my student What Are Our Senses?What Are Our Senses?

Then, we talk about our 5 senses.

We chart what our senses are and what they are not.Senses Sort Acitivity
We also talk about what senses use what parts of our body.
This is a pocket chart puzzle.

There is an image of the sense activity on the left, the actual sense in the middle,
and the part of our body we use on the right.

5 Senses Puzzle

There is also a printable to follow up the activity as well as a writing prompt to elaborate on the topic at hand.
You can see the printable for “Not Our Senses or Our Senses” which is great for independent practice.

The printable in the back asks the student questions and gives them space to write in their answers.
They can draw in a picture to match OR they can use the images I provide. Senses printables
One of the BEST features is the variety of charts and activity you can choose from. Breaking down our senses with charts, printables, and games!
And all the border colors MATCH  for easy assemble and organization for the teacher. Borders MATCH for all activities! Easy to prep and organize

After we cover what our senses ARE,
we break down each of our senses deeper.

HEARING

First, let’s talk about HEARING.
Our Senses of Hearing

There are two types of charts to use.
One of the chart covers our Sense of Hearing.
There is a blank version I use to project the chart onto my smart board,
then we fill in as a class.
There is also a chart we use to discuss what we HEAR.
I love this charting because we have a chance to talk MORE about what we hear and how.
I like the chart options because some of our students have more knowledge or less knowledge about hearing.
This allows you to pick what is best for the needs in your class.

We also take time to do a pocket chart sorting activity
I have cards with loud and quiet on them.
We can first sort the things we hear,
then we sort them by how loud or quiet we hear.

There are two cut an sort printables as well as a writing prompt.
Once discusses how we hear to learn.
Another cut and sort for loud and quiet.

Here is a look at the chart options.

The other chart is for “We Can See.”

Taste

The sense of taste day might be my favorite!sense of taste

Next, this day has THREE sets of charts.
It has “Our sense of Taste” charts, ‘We Can Taste” chart…Our sense of taste charts

AND it has this tongue diagram chart as well. We Can Taste diagram I can’t wait to use this diagram when we taste test to learn which parts of our tongue tell us what.

Sorting is going to be amazing as well.
We can sort by our senses…Our sense of taste

And by what things taste like. 

(Did you notice the sorting pieces MATCH the diagram!?)
And check out this set of printables.taste good- printable to reinforce taste
There is a taste sort. I did not include bitter since many of the bitter things
our students don’t eat or would be hard to bring to school to taste in bulk.

SMELL

Lastly, check out the sense is the sense of smell. our sense of smell
There are two sets of charts. sense of smell charts
And TONS of sorting pieces.
You can sort by senses as well as by good and bad smells.
Since teachers always want to expand vocabulary,
we use the terms pleasant and foul for smells.
There are also matching good and bad cards so you can chose what is best for your students. sense of smell sorting pieces
No topic could be compete without printables.
sense of smell printablesThe printables has a second version that uses the terms “good and bad”
instead of “pleasant and foul” in case that helps you.
Hearing charts... options for YOU to use
I know you will love this pack!
As always EACH section is color coded and so easy to prep,
organize, and use.
