It’s time to dive into the magical world where touch, taste, sight, sound, and smell reign supreme! This year, get your students excited about science with fun new printable 5 Senses activities from Teach Starter!

This year, we’re excited to help you teach your kindergarten and first-grade students to identify and use their five senses to describe the world around them. This printable resource download is the perfect tool to help your students practice identifying things around them that they can sense and using those senses to describe things around them.
