The Five Senses Matching

Year 1 ScienceAnimals Including Humans3 pages

About this worksheet

In this Year 1 matching sheet, pupils pair the five senses with the body parts that go with them. It follows the England National Curriculum unit Animals, including humans. Question 1 lists Sight, Hearing, Smell, Taste and Touch beside five jumbled pictures: an ear, a hand, a pair of eyes, a tongue and a nose. Pupils draw a line from each sense to its picture. Question 2 moves to a park, where each sense matches a lettered clue such as a rainbow, a bicycle bell or a rose. The last question asks how one sense keeps them safe when crossing the road. Answers are on page 3.

Curriculum objectives covered

Animals, including humans

“Identify, name, draw and label the basic parts of the human body and say which part of the body is associated with each sense”

Question 1 links each sense to an ear, eyes, a nose, a tongue or a hand. Question 3 asks pupils to name a sense and its body part together. The sheet does not ask pupils to draw or label a body outline.

What's inside this worksheet

Join each word to the matching picture

Pupils draw lines from the five sense words to five pictures. The order is mixed, so the ear sits next to Sight and the nose sits next to Touch.

Senses in the park

Pupils write a letter beside each sense to match it to a park clue, from the sweet flavour of a cold ice lolly to the rough bark on a tall oak tree. Sight is done for them with D, the rainbow.

Crossing the road

On three lines, pupils pick one sense and its body part and explain how the two keep them safe at the kerb.

Answers

The picture positions for question 1, the letters 1-D, 2-B, 3-E, 4-A and 5-C, and a model answer about seeing cars and hearing a car horn.

How teachers use it

Feely bag first

Before question 2, pass round a bag with a piece of bark and a small bell inside. Pupils have then touched and heard two of the park clues.

Walk to the gate

Pair question 3 with a short walk to the school gate. Stop at the kerb and ask pupils what their eyes and ears tell them before they write.

Five-minute check

Question 1 on its own makes a quick end-of-lesson check. Because the pictures are jumbled, you can see who matched by position instead of by thinking.
