Sense of Touch
Sensory Game

What can you tell using your Sense of Touch? 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 of contrasting shapes and textures eg. a small fluffy toy, a seashell, a cold metal spoon, a bumpy plastic lego block, a smooth and warm freshly boiled egg etc
* 1 x medium-sized cardboard box with lid
* 1 x small prize eg. novelty eraser (optional)

Suggested Instructions:

Step 1: At home, cut a hole in the end of your box large enough for a child to push their hand and lower arm through but not so large that they can see inside the box.

Step 2: Put your 5 items into the box and close the lid firmly (you may need to tape it closed).

Step 3: At school, pick 4 children in the class to take turns at feeling what's inside the box. They are not allowed to look through the hole!

Step 4: After all 4 children have felt the contents inside each box ask them, individually, to try to name the items they felt through their SENSE OF TOUCH.

Step 5 (Optional): The child who correctly names the most
items wins.
