Senses Touch Worksheet

This senses touch worksheet gives first grade students a clear, hands-on way to explore the sense of touch and the words we use to describe how things feel. Children look at six everyday objects, decide which ones feel soft, and then finish three sentences with a texture word from a word box. Because the property is named right in the directions, every item has one defensible answer, so the page teaches careful observation rather than guessing.

How to Use This Worksheet

Print the page and read the directions aloud together. In the first section, students circle each pictured object that feels soft: a pillow, a feather and a sock. A brick, a key and a spoon are left uncircled because they feel hard. In the second section, students read the word box and write the word that finishes each line, learning that skin is the body part we feel with, that a pinecone feels bumpy and that a glass window feels smooth. Real objects make wonderful partners for this first grade senses worksheet: pass around a cotton ball, a smooth stone and a piece of tree bark and let children sort them before they write.

What’s Included

• One printable page with a picture sorting section and a writing section
• Six pieces of original artwork showing soft and hard objects
• A four-word texture word box with one extra word as a distractor
• Three sentences with writing lines sized for first grade handwriting
• A complete answer key on the final page

Three Reasons This Helps Kids

• It turns an abstract sense into something children can name, sort and defend.
• It builds descriptive vocabulary that carries straight into writing and reading.
• It pairs a picture task with a writing task, so every learner has an entry point.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Turn this into a feely-box station: put five classroom objects in a paper bag and let students reach in, describe what they touch and guess the object before they look. Ask them to add one new texture word to the class chart each day. At home, take a texture walk around the yard and collect something soft, something bumpy and something smooth. Send the answer key home with the page so families can check the work together. Teachers and homeschool parents often use a senses touch worksheet like this one to open a five senses unit, then revisit it as a review before moving on to sight, sound, smell and taste.
