The Five Senses for Kids: See, Hear, Smell, Taste and Touch (Kindergarten to Grade 2 Science)

Hi, I'm Luna from DoodleBeez. Today we are learning about the five senses. Our senses are how our body finds out about the world around us. Let's meet all five of them!

We see with our eyes. Our eyes tell us about colors, shapes and how things move. We hear with our ears. Our ears catch sounds, like a dog barking, a bell ringing or a friend calling our name.

We smell with our nose. A nose can smell fresh bread or a stinky sock! We taste with our tongue. Foods can taste sweet, salty, sour or bitter. Smell and taste often work together.

We feel with our skin, and our hands are very good at it. Touch tells us if something is soft or rough, hot or cold, wet or dry. A kitten feels soft. An ice cube feels cold.

Our senses often work together. When you eat an orange, you see it, smell it, touch it and taste it. Senses keep us safe too. We hear a fire alarm, or see a red light, and stop.

Now it's your turn. Which sense tells you that music is playing? Pause and try. It is hearing! You use your ears. And which sense tells you that a lemon is sour? Taste, with your tongue!

Great job! Remember, we see with our eyes, hear with our ears, smell with our nose, taste with our tongue and touch with our skin. Practice the five senses in the Science Lab at doodlebeez.com. See you next time!
