Super Senses
People have five senses. These are sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Our senses help us understand the world. Look around. What do you see? Breathe in through your nose. What do you smell? These are your senses in action!
Ears help you hear.
Maybe you like listening to music. Or maybe you like nature sounds. You use your ears to hear these things.
The nose knows.
Sniff a flower. It smells nice. But garbage might be stinky. These are different scents. Your sense of smell starts in your nose.
Yum. Tasty!
There are tiny bumps on your tongue. They are called taste buds. They help you taste. Sweet, sour, salty. Which is your favorite?
What do you feel?
Tree bark is rough against your skin. A table is smooth. Your sense of touch helps you feel these.
Eyes are for sight.
Look around you. Do you see colors? Shapes? A friend’s smile? You see with your sense of sight.
