Behavioral Objective: The students will be able to draw three ways to keep their sense of hearing, after class discussion. Behavioral Objective: The students will be able to draw three ways their sense of hearing keeps their bodies healthy, after class discussion.

Goal:

• Students will understand that hearing is one of the five senses and that listening is important to our health.

Time:

• 30 minutes Integration:

• Physical Education Materials:

• The book “The Five Senses: Hearing” by Maria Rius • The c.d. “We All Live Together: Volume 2” Greg and Steve • “What’s in the box?” activity sheet • “Draw 4 things that make noise in your house!” home and family involvement

activity sheet • Five containers • Socks, pencils, rice, cotton balls and rocks • “Hearing Assessment” activity sheet

Vocabulary:

• Hearing: One of the five senses, used to help us learn about the world. Procedure: Hook (5 minutes): The teacher will read the book “The Five Senses: Hearing” by Maria Rius. Throughout the book, the teacher will point to various objects in the book and ask students to mimic the sounds that those objects make.


Preview Unit (1 minute) The teacher will explain to students that over the next three days they will be learning about some of the different senses. The teacher will also point out that it is important to know about our senses because our senses help us learn about the world. Preview Lesson (10 seconds): The teacher will explain that today students are going to do some fun activities that involve using our ears, being good listeners and understanding that sounds help us identify things.

• “Hearing” book • Hearing/listening discussion • Listening song • Review

New Content: (15 minutes): • The teacher will then explain that hearing is one of the five senses and will ask the

students: • What do we use to hear? (our ears) • What our ways that we can keep our ears healthy? (not putting objects in them,

having the doctor check them, having a parent/guardian clean them) • Why is it important to be a good listener? (to keep us safe and help us make

healthy choices, so we know what we are supposed to be doing, to be respectful to the person who is talking, etc.)

• What might happen if we don’t listen? (get in trouble, not know what to do, might not make a very healthy or safe choice)

• There will be five boxes containing different materials. The teacher will reiterate the importance of being good listeners. The teacher will then shake each box one at a time and students will try to guess what’s in them. After each box is shaken, students will draw what object that they think might be in the box. At the end, the teacher will reveal what’s inside.

Activity (5-7 minutes): • To emphasize being a good listener, the teacher will play the song “Listen and

Move” from the “We All Live Together: Volume 2” c.d. • Before playing the song, the teacher will explain to the students that they will be

doing a movement activity. The teacher will also point out some safety guidelines (be good listeners-have “listening ears” on, follow directions, don’t push, mouths off so that everyone can hear the directions, etc.)

• The song consists of six different rhythms: o 1st Rhythm – Walk o 2nd Rhythm – Gallop o 3rd Rhythm – Tiptoe o 4th Rhythm – Run o 5th Rhythm – Skate o 6th Rhythm – Hop


• The first time through, the song is instrumental music with spoken cues (children do what the cues indicate). The song repeats the rhythms a second time but this time without the spoken cues. This is great for increasing children’s listening skills.

• The class will make a large circle around the room and will follow the directions in the song.

Review Lesson (1 minute): • The teacher will ask students:

o What did we learn about our ears and listening? (hearing is one of the five senses, it is important to be a good listener-it keeps use safe and healthy)

• The teacher will pass out the “Hearing Assessment” activity sheet and will explain to students that they are to draw 2-‐3 ways to keep their ears healthy and 2-‐3 ways that ears keeps us safe.

Preview Next Lesson (5 seconds): The teacher will explain that the next class time, students will be learning about another sense; smell. Closing Statement (5 seconds): Hearing is one of the five senses and it is important because it helps us learn about our world and it helps to make safe and healthy choices. Extension (Modifications/Enrichment): If time permits it, the teacher may choose to do the following activity:

• The teacher will claps her hands, taps her foot, ring a bell, etc., a certain number of times. The students will count and tell how many times they heard a sound.

• The students will then create a pattern with different sounds (clapping, snapping his/her fingers, dramatic sound effects, high or low voices, loud or soft voices, musical instruments, stamping feet, etc.). Students will repeat the patterns and create their own.

Home & Family Involvement: While at home (with the help of a guardian), students can draw pictures of things that they hear in their house. (See take home sheet.) Resources: Joint Committee on Health Education. (2007). National health education standards prek-

“The Five Senses: The Sense of Smell” Kindergarten By: Lila Holst

Edited By: Lacey Corlew and Jenna Brueggen

Health Education Standard(s, Performance Indicator(s), and Behavioral Objective/Assessment: NHES 1: Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health.

P.I. 1.2.1: Identify that healthy behaviors affect personal health. Behavioral Objective: After the discussion, the students will be able to draw two- three ways to keep their nose clean. Behavioral Objective: After the discussion, the students will be able to draw two- three ways their noses help keep them safe.

Goal:

• Students will recognize that the sense of smell is one of the five senses and that smelling is important to health.

Time: 30 Minutes Integration: Science and Art are integrated into this lesson. Materials:

• Six pill containers (with number 1-6 on them) • Six different fruits cut up into (lemon, apple, orange, peach, banana, pineapple) • Crayons • White paper • Glue • Different things to glue on (cinnamon sticks, jello, coffee beans, tea bags,

peppermints) • Smelling activity sheet • Pictures of different animal noses (Cow, horse, chicken, person, cat, dog and pig) • Perfume • Take Home Activity Sheet • Smell Assessment Activity Sheet

Vocabulary:

• Smelling: One of the five senses, we use our nose to smell. It also helps us learn about our world.

Procedure:


Hook (2 Minutes): • Boys and girls, I am going to hold up some pictures of noses and I want you to

tell me what animal’s nose it is. o Cow o Horse o Chicken o Cat o Pig o Person o Dog

Review (2 Minutes):

• Boys and girls, what are we talking about this week? (Student responses: different senses) What is the sense that we learned about on Tuesday? (Student responses: hearing) What part of our body do we use to hear? (Student responses: our ears) Boys and girls, you remember a lot that we learned on Tuesday! So we learned about how hearing is one of the five senses. Also, you learned that it’s important to be good listener because it helps us make safe and healthy choices.

Preview Lesson (30 Seconds):

• Today we are talking about the sense of smell; we will be doing different activities today, which include…

• Fruits • Scented Picture • Discussion

Activity (20 Minutes):

• We just looked at different animals and they all had noses just like us! • Boys and girls, I am going to split you into groups of three and four. Then we are

going to smell different containers and try to figure out what fruit is in it. Once you think you know what item is in the container, I want you to draw a picture of it the best you can. On the paper that I give you, there will be numbers one through six on it. Also, on the container, there are numbers on them as well. I would like you match the numbers up, so the number one box has the number one container drawn in it.

• Split them into groups (3-4 students at a table) and put two of the six containers on each table.

• Give them time to complete the activity. • Go over the activity. Ask the students what they drew in each box.

o 1 = lemon o 2 = apple o 3 = orange o 4 = peach o 5 = banana o 6 = pineapple

• Clean up the tables.


• Boys and girls, what did we use to help us figure out what fruit was in the container?

o Our nose • Now, we are going to make our own smelly pictures. • I want you to each draw a picture of anything you would like. Once you have it

drawn, you may glue different scented objects around the picture. I have different spices and perfume that you can put on your paper to make it sented.

• Pass out the materials. • Allow time for them to complete the activity, and then have them share. • Boys and girls, you did a great job on your smelly pictures! • Do you think that it is important for you to smell?

o Yes • Yeah, it is important for you to smell. Do you remember the animal noses that we

looked at today? Yes. Well, animals use their nose to help them find food. Why do you think we have noses?

o To smell things o To breathe

• When you have a cold, can you smell anything? o No

• Do you like it when you can’t smell anything? o No

• We need our noses to be healthy so we can smell different things. How do you think we can keep our noses healthy?

o Blow it o Don’t put things in our nose

• We can blow our nose, breathe clean air, sneeze, keep things out of our nose, and go to the doctor. When we blow our nose or sneeze, it helps us get the dust out of our nose. We want to keep things out of our nose because it can hurt us. When you go to the doctor, they look up your nose to make sure that it is healthy and that nothing is wrong with it.

• We just came up with different things to keep our nose healthy, do you think our nose can keep us safe?

o No • I think it can! Have you smelled a fire? Yes. What if a fire was in your house and

you couldn’t smell it? o You wouldn’t know that it was there and you wouldn’t get out.

• Yeah, our noses help us know if we smell a fire and that gives us time to get out of the house so we don’t get hurt.

• Can you think of anything else that our noses help keep us safe from? o Smell the milk

• We can smell if our food is good or bad. If the milk doesn’t smell right, we don’t want to drink it because we will get sick. Also, if we smell a skunk, we know that we want to get out of there because we don’t want to get sprayed!

• Boys and girls, you worked so hard today, thank you.


Review Lesson (5 Minutes): • Boys and girls, we just got done talking about how our noses help keep us safe

and how we should keep our noses clean. I will pass out an assessment sheet and I want you to draw two-three ways to keep your nose clean and two – three ways your nose helps keep you safe.

Preview Next Lesson (30 Seconds):

• Tomorrow, we will be learning about another one of the five senses: taste. So bring your listening ears tomorrow and be ready for some more fun activities.

Closing Statement (30 Seconds):

• The sense of smell is one of the five senses; it helps us learn about our world. Extension (Modifications/Enrichment):

• Take a walk around the school trying to smell different smells. Remind students to walk quietly in the hallway. Once you get back to the room, talk about different things that they tried to smell and ask if they can describe what it smells like.

Home & Family Involvement:

• Pass out the take home activity sheet. Explain that each child needs to go home and find four different smells and draw a picture of the item that they smelled in one box and have a parent or guardian help you write what the item is. For example, you can smell an orange (have an adult help you write the word orange) and draw a picture of an orange in the box.

Behavioral Objective: The students will be able to draw three ways to keep their sense of taste healthy, after class discussion. Behavioral Objective: The students will be able to draw three ways their sense of taste keeps their bodies healthy, after class discussion.

Goal: The students will understand that taste is one of the five senses and the importance of taste to their health. Time: 30 minutes Integration: Science, Art, and Language Arts Materials:

• Tongue poster • Dixie cups • Apple juice • Lemon juice • Orange juice • Grape juice • Grapefruit juice • Paper plates • Construction paper • Scissors • Glue • My Plate worksheet • Taste Assessment Activity Sheet • Taste Test Activity Sheet

Vocabulary:

• Bitter: A sharp, harsh, or unpleasant taste. A bitter taste helps us to know when something could be unsafe to eat.

• Sweet: A pleasant or good taste resembling sugar. Most candy has a sweet taste. • Sour: A sharp, tangy, or tart taste produced by acids.


• Salty: A taste resembling salt. • Tongue: The part of the mouth that allows us to taste and helps in chewing,

swallowing, and talking. • Taste: One of the five senses; we use our tongue to taste. Taste is used to help us

make safe decisions about what we eat. • Taste Buds: The cells on our tongues that look like tiny bumps and allow us to

taste. Procedure: Hook (3 minutes):

• Draw a picture of an ice cream cone on the board: I love ice cream! Does anyone else love ice cream? What are your favorite foods? Draw and list their favorite foods on the board.

Review (2 minutes):

• What have we been talking about this week? o Our five senses

• What senses have we talked about so far? What body part do we use for each of these senses?

o Hearing, ears o Smell, nose

• How do our ears keep us healthy? o They help us to listen

• How do we keep our noses healthy? o Blow your nose o Breathe clean air o Sneeze o Keep things out of your nose o Go to the doctor

Preview Lesson (1 minute): Wow! You have learned a lot so far! Today, we are going to talk about our third sense, taste We are going to:

Learn about taste and our tongue Learn how to keep our sense of taste healthy Do a taste test Review

New Content (10 minutes):

• Without our sense of taste, we would not be able to enjoy any of our favorite foods that we just talked about. But, our sense of taste is not only for us to enjoy food. Taste helps tell us if a food is okay to eat. If a food gets too old to eat, it will sometimes get a funny taste. Things that could hurt our bodies if we ate them also sometimes have a funny taste. This taste is to let us know that we should


stop eating it right away. Because our sense of taste keeps us safe, we have to make sure we keep it healthy at all times. What are some ways we can keep our sense of taste healthy?

o Brush our teeth and tongue (gets germs out of your mouth and keeps mouth clean)

o Don’t eat or drink anything that is too hot (if you burn your mouth you can’t taste)

o Drink water (you can’t taste anything if your mouth is too dry) o Eat different types of food (eating different foods helps to keep taste

“awake”) • Does anyone know what part of our mouth we use to taste the foods we are

eating? o Our tongue

• Yes, we do use our tongue to taste. If you were to look very closely at your tongue in a mirror, you would be able to see little tiny bumps on your tongue. These bumps are called taste buds and are the part of our tongue that allow it to taste our food.

• Our taste buds are grouped into different sections on our tongues. Each group can taste a different type of taste. This section (point at bitter section of tongue map) helps us to taste bitter foods, like grapefruits. This section (point to sour section of tongue map) helps us to taste sour foods like lemons and limes. This section (point to salty section of tongue map) helps us to taste salty foods like pretzels and french fries. And, this section (point to sweet section of tongue map) helps us to taste sweet foods like ice cream and strawberries.

Activity (8 minutes): Now, we are going to taste a few different drinks and decide if each drink is bitter, sour, salty, or sweet. After you taste each drink, circle the number of the drink under the type that you think it is. For example, if you think Drink 1 is sweet circle the number one on the sweet section of the tongue.

• Students taste and classify drinks using Taste Test Activity Sheet (attached).

Then, go through each drink and talk about what type of taste it is. • Drink 1: Grapefruit Juice (bitter) • Drink 2: Apple Juice (sweet) • Drink 3: Grape Juice (sweet or bitter) • Drink 4: Lemon Juice (sour) • Drink 5: Orange Juice (sweet)

Review Lesson (5 minutes): Today we learned about our sense of taste and how our tongues taste our food. Can you tell me what the four types of taste are?

• Bitter • Sour • Salty • Sweet


Pass out Taste Assessment Activity Sheet (attached) and read directions to students. If the students do not finish the activity sheet in the amount of time allotted, it can be finished as homework. Preview Next Lesson (10 seconds): Tomorrow, we will be learning about another one of our five senses, touch. Make sure you are ready for a story and some fun activities. Closing Statement (10 seconds): Taste is one of our five senses and helps us to learn about our world, make healthy choices, and enjoy a tasty treat. Extension (Modifications/Enrichment): Earlier, we talked about our favorite foods. Now, we are going to make a plate full of all these foods. Use the construction paper, markers, and crayons to make your favorite foods and glue them to your plate. Allow time for each student to fill most of their plate and then have each student tell the class about one or two of their favorite foods on their plate, including what type of taste each food is. Home & Family Involvement: Have student color a picture of their dinner on the My Plate worksheet (attached) and talk to their parent or guardian about the type of taste of each food they ate. Have parent or guardian help child to write if food is bitter, sour, salty, or sweet. Resources: Joint Committee on Health Education. (2007). National health education standards prek-

“The Five Senses: Touch” Kindergarten

By: Jenna Brueggen Edited By: Lacey Corlew and Lila Holst


Behavioral Objectives: The students will be able to draw three ways to keep their skin and sense of touch healthy, after class discussion. Behavioral Objectives: The students will be able to draw three ways their sense of touch keeps their bodies safe, after class discussion.

Goal:

• The students will understand that touch is one of the five senses and the importance of touch to their health.

Time:


• Science, Art, and Language Arts Materials:

• Construction paper • Textured fabric and wallpaper scraps • Glue • Scissors • Markers, crayons, or colored pencils • Touch Activity worksheet • Brown paper lunch bags • Dice • Marble • Toy car • Magnet letter • Key • Touch Assessment Activity Sheet • “The Five Senses: Touch” by Maria Rius.

Vocabulary:

• Touch: One of the five senses; we use our skin to touch and feel. Touch is used to help us learn about our world.

• Texture: The feel of something.


• Skin: Covers the body and tells you the way something you touch feels. Procedure: Hook (5 minutes):

• Read “The Five Senses: Touch” by Maria Rius. Review Lesson (2 minutes):

• What have we been talking about this week? o Our five senses

• What senses have we talked about so far? What body part do we use for each of these senses?

o Hearing, ears o Smell, nose o Taste, mouth or tongue

• What are some ways that we can keep our sense of taste healthy? o Brush our teeth and tongue (gets germs out of your mouth and keeps

mouth clean) o Don’t eat or drink anything that is too hot (if you burn your mouth you

can’t taste) o Drink water (you can’t taste anything if your mouth is too dry) o Eat different types of food (eating different foods helps to keep taste

“awake”) Preview Lesson (30 seconds): Today we will be talking about our sense of touch and how it helps to keep us safe and healthy. We are going to:

Make texture collages Talk about our sense of touch Talk about how our touch keeps us healthy And, talk about how to keep our sense of touch healthy

Activity (13 minutes):

• We are going to make texture collages by gluing pieces of these fabrics and wallpapers to our sheets of paper. Make sure to put all different types of texture, or “feel”, on your collages. Using scissors, construction paper, glue and scraps, have students make texture collages.

New Content (7 minutes):

• We just finished making collages that have all different textures, or “feels”. We use our sense of touch to feel all these different textures and temperatures. Do you know what part of our body we use to feel?

o Hands o Feet o Arms o Legs


o Face o Etc.

• Those are all right, what do all those parts of our body have in common? They all have skin. Our skin allows us to touch and feel different things. Without our skin, we would not be able to tell the difference between different textures and temperatures. We have our sense of touch to help keep our bodies safe. Do you know how our sense of touch keeps our bodies safe?

o Tell if something is too hot A door when trying to get out of a building on fire or a hot stove

o Tell if something is too cold Playing outside in the snow too long

o Tell if something is sharp or can hurt us Broken toys or glass Knives Scissors

• Because our sense of touch keeps us safe, it is important to keep our sense of touch healthy. What are some ways that you can keep your skin and sense of touch healthy?

o Wash with soap and water o Clean cuts and scrapes o Drink water o Use sunscreen

Review Lesson (2 minutes): Today we talked about our sense of touch. What body part helps us to feel?

• Our skin Right! Pass out Touch Assessment Activity Sheet (attached) and read directions to students. If the students do not finish the activity sheet in the amount of time allotted, it can be finished as homework. Preview Next Lesson (1 minute):

• Tomorrow, we will continue learning about our five senses by talking about our fifth sense. Does anyone know what our fifth sense is?

o Sight • Exactly! Tomorrow we will learn all about our sense of sight and how to keep it

healthy.

Closing Statement (10 seconds): • Our sense of touch is one of our five senses and helps us to learn about our world

and keep us safe. Extension (Modifications/Enrichment):

• If time permits, pair students in groups of two. Give each group a paper bag with an object inside (dice, marble, toy car, magnet letter, key). Have students reach


inside and try to guess what the object is only by feeling it. Then, have the groups pass their bags until each group has had every bag.


• Have students make rubbings of different textures they find in their home and label the rubbing on Touch Activity worksheet (attached).

Draw 2-3 ways to keep your skin healthy Draw 2-3 ways your skin keeps you safe


“The Five Senses: Sight” Kindergarten By: Lila Holst

Edited By: Lacey Corlew/Jenna Brueggen


P.I. 1.2.1: Identify that healthy behaviors affect personal health. Behavioral Objective: After the discussion, the students will be able to draw two-three ways we keep our eyes healthy and clean. Behavioral Objective: After the discussion, the students will be able to draw two-three ways their eyes help keep them safe.

Goal:

• Students will recognize that sight is one of the five senses and that seeing is important to health.

Time:

• 30 Minutes Integration:

• Science Materials:

• Take home activity sheet: sight • Shaving cream • Tray • Food coloring (all colors) • Many different items to look at (ball, orange marker, sticker, pencil, penny, toy

car, toy horse, red Lego, blue comb, green whistle, etc.) • 3 Kaleidoscopes • Items for extension activity (orange sticker, orange ball, orange eraser, blue pen,

blue car, blue ball, red paper, red sticker, red crayon, green sock, green hair tie, green crayon, yellow paper, yellow ball, yellow eraser, etc.)

• Sight Assessment Activity Sheet Vocabulary:

• Sight: One of the five senses, we use our eyes to see. It also helps us learn about our world.

• Eyelid: Skin covering your eyes. • Eyelashes: Hairs on the end of your eyelid to keep the dust out.


Procedure: Hook (Time):

• Read the story, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? By Eric Carle & Bill Martin Jr.

• Ask the students what they see on each page before the story tells them what animals they are.

Review (2 Minutes):

• Boys and girls, what have we been talking about this week? (Student responses: the five senses.) What sense did we learn about yesterday? (Student responses: our hands help us touch different things.) So we learned that touch is one of the five senses. Also, you learned how our hands help us keep safe and how they help keep us safe. It is important to keep our hands clean and healthy.

Preview Lesson (30 Seconds):

• Boys and girls, today, we are talking about sight; we will be doing different activities today, which include…

• Shaving cream activity • Memory game • Kaleidoscope activity • Discussion

Activity (20 Minutes):

• Boys and girls, I am going to split you into groups of three or four. Then, we are going to go to different stations around the room and look at different things to see what we can see.

• Have a station where there is shaving cream on the table, they see that it is white and then add different colors of food coloring to show how color changes. (You can even mix the colors) They can play in it and make different shapes also, like square, smiley face, circle, stick person, etc.

• At the other station, have a tray with different items on it. (Ball, orange marker, sticker, pencil, penny, toy car, toy horse, red Lego, blue comb, green whistle, etc.) They will be given about 2 minutes to look at the tray and then they will turn to a partner and tell them from their memory what they saw on the tray.

• The last station will be a kaleidoscope. They will look up at the light and see all sorts of different colors and have to tell their partners what colors or shapes they are seeing.

• Boys and girls, do you think it is important for you to see? o Yes

• What part of our body do we use to see? o Our eyes

• Boys and girls, this is your eye (point to your eye), this is your eyelid (point to your eyelid), and this is your eyelashes (point to your eyelashes). Our eyelids help keep things out of your eyes and they allow us to close our eyes so we can sleep at


night. They are the skin that covers our eyes. Our eyelashes keep dust out of your eyes. They are the hair on our eyelids.

• Our eyelids and eyelashes help keep our eyes healthy. They keep things out of our eyes by blinking. Our eyes need to stay wet, if we didn’t blink, our eyes would be dry. Have you ever tried to keep your eyes open without blinking?

o Yes, it hurts. • It does hurt so we need to blink. We can also cry to keep our eyes healthy because

that cleans them. • We can go to the doctor and have him or her look at our eyes to keep our clean

and healthy. • Our eyes can help keep us safe too. • Can anyone tell me how our eyes can keep us safe?

o We can see things happening • Good job! We can see many things that are happening. We can see if something is

falling and we can get out of the way. See if there is a fire and call 911, see the colors on the stoplight to see if we can go or if we need to wait until the light turns green, and we can see to read. There are signs that say caution when wet and if we couldn’t read, we wouldn’t be able to know that we are supposed to be careful.

• Boys and girls, you worked so hard today, thank you! Review Lesson (5 Minutes):

• Boys and girls, we just got done talking about how our eyes help keep us safe and how you should keep your eyes clean and healthy. I will pass out the assessment sheet and I want you to draw two-three ways you keep your eyes healthy and two-three ways your eyes help keep you safe.

Preview Next Lesson (30 Seconds):

• Tomorrow, we will be reviewing what we learned about all of the senses. So bring your listening ears tomorrow and be ready for some more fun activities.

Closing Statement (30 Seconds):

• Sight is one of the five senses; it helps us learn about our world. Extension (Modifications/Enrichment):

• Sort items by color. • Have items like orange sticker, orange ball, orange eraser, blue pen, blue car, blue

ball, red paper, red sticker, red crayon, green sock, green hair tie, green crayon, yellow paper, yellow ball, yellow eraser, etc.

• Have the students work in the same teams that they were in during the center stations.


• Pass out the take home activity sheet. Explain that each child needs to go home and find different colors around their house. They need to draw a picture of the object with the correct color in one box and have their parent or guardian write


the name of the object in the other box. For example, I see the color brown on my couch, draw a brown couch in one box and write the words brown couch in the other box.

“The Five Senses: Altogether”

Kindergarten By: Lacey Corlew

Edited By: Jenna Brueggen and Lila Holst


P.I. 1.2.1: Identify that healthy behaviors affect personal health. Behavioral Objective: After the discussion, the students will be able to locate the five senses on the body by completing the “Five Senses Assessment.” Behavioral Objective: After the discussion, the students will be able to draw five ways to keep each of their senses healthy.

Goal:

• Students will understand that the ability to use all five of our senses helps us to learn more about the world and that it is important to take care of our senses.

Time:


• Science Materials:

• The book, “Brave Little Monster” by Ken Baker • “Monster Fun: Learning the Five Senses Handout” (1 per student, precut) • Pieces of orange, carrot, celery, cantaloupe, grapefruit, potato, pear, banana (with

the peel of each cut off) • Several pieces of thin paper to wrap food in • Food picture cards (1 per student, precut) • (Extension Activity) “The Five Senses: In the Kitchen” sheet • “The Five Senses” coloring assessment/Rubric • “Draw a Way to Keep Each of Your Five Senses Healthy” assessment

sheet/Rubric

Vocabulary:

• Review of unit vocabulary: • Hearing: One of the five senses, used to help us learn about the world, listen

by using our ears • Smell: One of the five senses, used to help us learn about the world, smell by

using our noses


• Taste: One of the five senses, used to help us learn about the world, taste by using our tongues

• Touch: One of the five senses, used to help us learn about the world, touch by using our hands

• Sight: One of the five senses, used to help us learn about the world, see by using our eyes

Procedure: Hook (5-10 minutes):

• The teacher will pass out the “Monster Fun: Learning the Five Senses Handout” to each student and will explain that they are going to hear a story and that they are to listen and look for times when the characters use one their five senses. When they discover one of the five senses being used, students will hold up the picture representing that sense as well as a picture of the item the sense is acting on or related to.

• The teacher will read the story and will observe to see if students hold up the correct five senses pictures.

Review (1 minute):

• What are the five senses? (hearing, smell, touch, taste, and sight) • Why is it important that we know about each of our senses? (helps us learn about

the world, using all five senses helps us identify things, etc.) • How can we keep our senses healthy? (by not putting things where they don’t

belong (pencil in ear, objects in mouth, etc.), by getting check-ups from the doctor, etc.)

Preview Lesson (10 seconds): The teacher will explain that today students are going to revisit the five senses by doing fun activities.

• “Brave Little Monster” book • All five senses activity

Activity (15 minutes):

• The class will be divided into three groups. Each group will try to identify wrapped pieces of food.

• The first group of students will be blindfolded and each will be given a combination of three wrapped pieces of food (the combination doesn’t matter). They will try to identify the fruit by using only their sense of smell.

• The students will take off their blindfolds, look through their pictures and find the three fruits that they smelled.

• After displaying their chosen food cards, the students will unwrap their food and will see if their guesses were right.

• The next group of students will be blindfolded and will follow the same procedure. Except that they will identify the foods by using only their sense of touch only.


• The last group will not be blindfolded. This group will identify the foods using their sight, smell and touch. They will select the appropriate picture cards and will check their results by unwrapping the foods.

• The teacher will end the activity by asking the following questions: o Which group of children was able to identify the foods most easily? (the

last group) Why? (they could use more than one sense) o What does this activity tell you about the way we learn if we use our five

senses? (it’s easier to learn/we can learn more if we use all of our senses) Review Lesson (2-3 minutes): The teacher will explain to students that they will then complete two activities that cover all five senses. The teacher will pass out the final assessment activity sheets (“The Five Senses” coloring assessment and the “Draw a Way to Keep Each of Your Five Senses Healthy” assessment. Closing Statement (10 seconds): When we use all of our senses, it is much easier to learn about the world. That is why it is so important to keep each sense healthy. Extension (Modifications/Enrichment): Students can make self-portraits portraying each of the five senses. Have students draw themselves and then glue on wiggle eyes (sight), cotton ball dipped in perfume for a nose (smell), jingle bells for ears (hearing), sand paper for hands (touch) and licorice for a mouth (taste). Then at the bottom write the sentence: "_____________ has Five Senses". Home & Family Involvement: With the help of a parent/guardian, students will go into their kitchens and fill out the “The Five Senses: In the Kitchen” sheet. Resources: Baker, K. (2011).
