About this worksheet

Long before a child can name the five senses, they already know which part of them finds something out. This worksheet asks for exactly that knowledge and nothing else. You read the short question aloud, your child looks at the one picture, and then points to a picture of the eye, ear, nose, mouth, or hand. Nothing on the page has to be read, which means a three-year-old can finish it beside you and a five-year-old can finish it alone. The questions move from the obvious to the interesting: first the part you look with, then which part smells the flower or tastes the lemon, and finally the two senses that are easy to mix up, such as the nose that smells a cookie and the mouth that tastes it.

Talk about the answers rather than marking them quickly. Ask your child how they know, and try the clue for real if you can: sniff the flower, tap the bell, close your eyes and guess what you are holding.

What your child will learn

  • Point to the eye, ear, nose, mouth, or hand that finds something out
  • Match something you see, hear, smell, taste, or feel to the right part
  • Tell a smell apart from a taste
  • Tell the nose that smells from the mouth that tastes

Head Start ELOF standard: P-SCI 1, 1-LS1-1

Worked example

The page shows one bell. You say: which part hears the bell? Sounds come in through the ears, so your child points to the ear.

Common mistake

Pointing to the mouth for any food picture, even when the question is about the smell noticed before the first bite.

Helpful hint

Ask your child: would you look, listen, sniff, taste, or feel to find that out?
