Sorting Sensory Details

Sort out adjectives in this sensational worksheet! Learners will be given a list of 20 different adjectives, like sparkly, flowery, and fragrant. They’ll need to sort each adjective into a category based on the sense it describes—taste, touch, sight, sound, or smell.

This worksheet is a fun activity designed to help fourth and fifth graders consider the many different words they can use to describe each of the five senses. A broad vocabulary of sensory adjectives can help learners add detail and pizzazz to their own writing.
