Which Sense Would You Use? Body Parts Worksheet

About this worksheet

Ten everyday moments, each with a picture: smell a flower, hear a bell ring, taste a sour lemon, pet a soft bunny, see the moon and more. For each one, first graders circle the body part that does the job (eye, ear, nose, tongue or hand). The key on page 2 circles the right part in red. First graders, about ages 6 to 7, can read the words and write them on their own.

Tips for using it

• Before any worksheet, play "touch your...": call out a body part and have kids touch it on themselves. The labels stick much faster after the body has done it.
• On the labeling pages, read the word bank aloud together first and cross each word out once it is used.
• For the cut and paste page, cut the word cards first and lay them on the table; younger kids can glue them while you read.
• Pair the measuring page with real objects: connecting cubes, paper clips or LEGO bricks all work as units.
