This document outlines activities to teach 26 first grade students about the five senses using English. The students are beginners in English. The activities include labeling pictures of the five senses after watching a video, making a texture book by sorting textured materials and describing pages, experiencing different tastes and matching them to pictures, smelling scents and identifying them, going on a nature walk and cutting out related pictures, listening to animal sounds and matching pictures. The last activity is a test where students list three observations for each of the five senses. References for the lesson plans are also provided.

Help them use describing words by saying, for example, "Look, this one feels bumpy. Can you find another one that is bumpy?" Permit time for exploration.
