Five Senses

 
Five Senses Poem

 

I see with my eyes

I hear with my ears

I taste with my tongue

I smell with my nose

I touch with my fingers and my toes.

 

Five Little Senses
Five little senses are what I need,
To use when things are near.
I use my eyes to look and see.
I use my ears to hear.
I use my nose to smell things.
I use my hands to touch.
I use my mouth to taste
The things I love to eat so much.
Five little senses standing in a row,
To see, hear, smell, touch and taste
The things I need to know.
 

  5 Senses Poem

We use five senses every day
To help us learn and play.
See, hear, smell, touch, taste.
We do these every day.

 

Five Senses Songs
 

Five Senses 


 Five senses, five senses
 We have them. We have them.
 Seeing, hearing, touching,
 Tasting and smelling.
 There are five. There are five.

 

 Sound Song
(Tune: "Did You Ever See A Lassie?")

Did you ever hear a bell ring,
A bell ring, a bell ring?
Did you ever hear a bell ring?
Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding.

Did you ever hear the wind blow,
The wind blow, the wind blow?
Did you ever hear the wind blow?
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.
