Looking for five senses activities for preschoolers and kindergartners?  Check these out!

(This post contains affiliate links.)

Love this five senses activity for preschool, kindergarten, and first grade! Great pocket chart idea.

Today I had the joy of teaching concepts of print to my three-year-old.

Concepts of print.  Sounds real exciting, huh?

To a three-year-old, you bet it is!

I chose an activity from my giant All About Me Theme pack.

Love this five senses activity for preschool, kindergarten, and first grade! Great pocket chart idea.

First, we pinned our pocket chart up on the bulletin board.  This handy tool is left from my teaching days, and I’m thrilled I get to pull it out to use with my own kids!

Love this five senses activity for preschool, kindergarten, and first grade! Great pocket chart idea.

Next, I pulled out all the words I had printed and cut out from the download you’ll find at the end of this post.  My Three helped me sort the cards by those with pictures and those without.  (You can see the little hand of my 19-month-old, who wasn’t about to be left out!)

Love this five senses activity for preschool, kindergarten, and first grade! Great pocket chart idea.

In the download you’ll find a variety of options for building sentences.  This time I decided we would build five simple sentences.

“I can see the…”

“I can smell the…”

“I can touch the…”

“I can taste the…”

“I can hear the…”

For each sentence, my Three helped me find each word.

Love this five senses activity for preschool, kindergarten, and first grade! Great pocket chart idea.

(Meanwhile, my One was staying busy in her own way!)

Love this five senses activity for preschool, kindergarten, and first grade! Great pocket chart idea.

He was able to find the words “I” and “can” without any trouble.  He knows the letter I, of course (thanks and could find “can” by the sound /k/.  I helped him find the other words.  He chose which picture card to put at the end of each sentence.

(Note: The point of this activity was not to teach him to read. That will come later. The point was to teach the concept of word.)

Love this five senses activity for preschool, kindergarten, and first grade! Great pocket chart idea.

This was the fun part!  After we built the sentences, I pulled out our brand new pointers (which we LOVE – so glad I ordered the long ones!), and he pointed to teach word as he “read” it.  I put read in quotes there because he really does not know these words in isolation.

By pointing to each word and naming it, he is learning SO much.

  • Print goes from left to right.
  • Each word you speak matches a single word of print.
  • Sentences have to make sense.

Love this five senses activity for preschool, kindergarten, and first grade! Great pocket chart idea.

When we had built all the sentences, he “read” through them a number of times. And later, when Daddy came home, he remembered them and read them again.

Love this five senses activity for preschool, kindergarten, and first grade! Great pocket chart idea.

And Little Miss Copycat had her turn too!

We hope you enjoy our pocket chart sentences for the five senses!

    Hello Ann,

    Your resources are wonderful!!!.I am a teacher in Kenya and have just discovered
    your website. I plan to home school my 3 year old grand daughter using these resources because we live far from quality child care programs.

    Thanks,

    VERY disappointed with this link. All I want is the 5 senses clip cards which are advertised as FREE and it has taken me an hour to even be able to get access to this stuff and now I find out that it’s really $12! What the heck. I am not paying that for a few clip cards. Very, very misleading!

      No, the five senses clip cards are not advertised as free. Where do you see that? The main image is a set of pocket chart sentences, which are indeed free. Maybe someone pinned the clip cards to Pinterest and wrote that they were free, but I certainly didn’t do that. I’m sorry you were disappointed, but if you’d look around this website, especially my free printables page, you’d see that 95% of what I share is completely free, which is much more than you will find on nearly any other website.

        Also, you wouldn’t be paying $12 for “a few clip cards.” You’d be paying $12 for a very high quality set of printable cards, pocket chart sentences, books, learning centers, activity pages, and more. Frankly, $12 is a pretty amazing deal if you check around Teachers Pay Teachers and see what other sellers are charging.

        Hi Anna,

        It does say free on your web page. Also, i purchased your all about me package and i only received one part of the clip arts which is the touch.

        Thanks.
        SIncerely,

        Elena

          Hi Elena! Yes, it says “free pocket chart sentences” which is what you’ll find when you click on the green download button. Everything else is in the paid bundle. There are three downloads to the bundle, so be sure to check all three. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, be sure to email me and I’ll make sure you can find what you’re looking for. It’s anna(at)themeasuredmom(dot)com.
