Sensory Circle Activity

Time: 5 minutes

Materials:

• Five Senses Poster
• Sensory Tools Picture Cards
• A soft “talking” object (e.g., plush toy or stress ball) for passing around (optional)

Purpose:
A quick, whole‐class sharing to reinforce sense identification and let each Sensory Superhero say which tool they like best.

Procedure

1. Gather in a Circle
   Have students sit criss-cross on the floor so everyone can see the poster in the center.

2. Introduce the Talking Object
   Explain that whoever holds the soft object gets a turn to speak.
   “When you have the object, share one sense or your favorite tool and why you like it.”

3. Pass and Share

   • Teacher starts by holding the object, pointing to the Five Senses Poster, and naming one sense (e.g., “I see with my eyes!”) or choosing a tool (e.g., “I like the soft stress ball because it feels squishy!”).
   • Gently roll or hand the object to the next student.
   • Each student who catches it shares their sense or tool.
   • Continue until everyone has had a turn or time is up.

4. Closure Question
   After the circle, ask:
   • “Which sense helps you learn best?”
   • “Which tool will you use when you feel wiggly or upset?”

Teacher Tips & Follow-Up

• Encourage short, simple answers.
• Offer sentence starters: “I feel calm when I use ___.”
• Keep the pace brisk—this is a quick energizer or wrap-up.
• Remind students they can use any of these tools anytime they need to refocus or calm down.

Five Senses Poster

Sight

We use our EYES to see colors, shapes, and movement all around us!

Hearing

We use our EARS to listen to sounds—like music, voices, and birds singing!

Taste

We use our TONGUE to taste sweet, salty, sour, and yummy flavors!

Touch

We use our SKIN to feel textures, temperature, and whether something is soft or rough!

Smell

We use our NOSE to smell flowers, food, and all kinds of scents!

Become a Sensory Superhero by using all five senses every day!
