Sense of Touch |
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 |
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 |
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 |
