Balance a pencil on a chair. Rub your feet on the carpet to generate static electricity. Move your finger toward the tip of the pencil. The pencil should move. Use this fun activity to stimulate students' awareness of the functions of the five senses.
Place objects on a table to be categorized by smell, taste, touch, sound or sight.
Ask the students to select an item from the table and to tell which of the five senses would be most responsive to the item. Make a list of animals from A to Z. Ask each student to use manila paper, crayons and markers to illustrate one or more of the animals so that every letter of the alphabet is represented. Allow the students to use resource books for help in drawing details and distinguishing features. When the drawings have been completed, have each student write the name of the animal and a brief description of the animal below the illustration. Staple the pages together to make a book and add an attractive cover.
