Introduction
(2 minutes)
- Prewrite a simple five sense riddle on chart paper. For example, "I see swirling colors, I hear licking tongues, I taste chocolate, I feel icy cold, I smell sugary sweet cones" and post (covered so that the students cannot see before the lesson begins).
- Introduce the lesson by showing a picture of a cookie and asking students to identify what they see.
- Then ask the students to turn and talk to a partner to share what they can see in the picture (colors, textures, etc.).
- Say, "You are using one of your five senses to describe the cookie: your sense of sight. Our senses are the way we understand and describe the world around us. Your other senses are your sense of smell, touch, hearing, and taste."
