See, hear, smell, taste and touch!
Kids learn that our five senses are how we learn about the world: we see with our eyes, hear with our ears, smell with our nose, taste with our tongue and feel with our skin. They practice using each sense to describe things, like a lemon that looks yellow, smells fresh and tastes sour. Older kids use sensory words to make their writing come alive. The click comes when kids realize they can learn about something without even looking at it, just by touching, smelling or listening.
The five senses are best learned by using them. These moves help.
Play the senses song and have kids point to their eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hands as each sense is named. Music plus movement makes the five senses easy to remember.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withSenses Song (Animated Music Video)SongsOpen it →Show a picture card and ask, "Which sense would you use?" A drum? Hearing! A flower? Smell and sight! Kids learn that we often use more than one sense at a time.
Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).
Try it withFive Senses Flash CardsFlash CardsOpen it →Set up stations with mystery bags to touch, cups to smell and sounds to hear. Kids guess what's inside using only one sense. Hands-on exploring makes each sense memorable.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. We use our eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin to learn about the world.
The five senses are a favorite in preschool and kindergarten. Older kids revisit them in science and when learning to write with sensory details.
Go on a senses walk and name one thing for each sense, or do a blindfolded taste test with different foods.
They keep us safe and help us learn. Smelling smoke warns us of danger, and touch tells us if something is hot.
