Sense of Smell
Sensory Game

What can you tell using your Sense of Smell? This entertaining sensory game is lots of fun and uses materials you may already have around
your home.
Remember, it's always a good idea to practice at home first!

Suggested Materials:

* 5 x everyday items with strong and contrasting smells eg: chocolate, a slice of lemon, a flower, salty potato crisps, coffee granules etc
* 5 x small coloured plastic containers with lids (not clear containers)
* 1 x blindfold or sleeping mask (to fit a child)
* 1 x small prize eg. novelty eraser (optional)

Suggested Instructions:

Step 1: At home, put a sufficient amount of each item into its container so that the scent of the item is easily smelt.
Close the lids.

Step 2: At school, pick 4 children in the class to take turns smelling the contents of each container with the blindfold on. The blindfold must be securely in place!

Step 3: After all 4 children have smelt the contents of each container ask them, individually, to try to name the items they smelt through their SENSE OF SMELL.

Step 4 (Optional): The child who correctly names the most items first wins.
