Fun, Educational Game!

I thought I would post an age appropriate game for kindergarteners to play when teaching about the five senses! It's interactive, simple, and will help the children learn their five senses by accually using them!

  • Sight: Put together a few large cards with a picture on each one. Use them a oversized flashcards for the class and have them shout out what the picture is of. Simple examples: Apple, car, and tree.
  • Hearing: Put together a collection of various sounds and play each one for the class to listen to. Let the class shout out what the sound is. Simple examples: Alarm clock, piano, and bird chirping.
  • Smell: Pass around scratch and sniffs to the class and see if they can correctly identify what the small is. Simple examples: Orange, cherry, and grape.
  • Touch: Place small items in a covered box. Go around the room and allow each student to put their hand in the box and try to figure out what the object is. Simple examples: Stuffed animal, pencil, and flower.
  • Taste: Let each student eat a small peice of hard fruit flavored candy without looking at it. Have them identify what flavor the candy was. Simple examples: Life savers, jolly ranchers, and jelly beans.
