Body Parts & Senses
Identify, name, and locate basic parts of the human body and associate each body part with its sense
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Body Parts & Senses means naming body parts and matching each sense organ to sight, hearing, smell, taste, or touch. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.”
Bring to the table
- Paper outline of a person (or stick-figure drawing)
- Five sense cards: eyes, ears, nose, tongue/mouth, skin
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Eyes are for sight. Ears are for hearing. Nose is for smell. Tongue is for taste. Skin is for touch.
Optional challenge. For Body Parts & Senses, add a second scenario for skin (hot cup vs soft blanket).
What to notice. Keep one parent note: organs labelled; sense matches; support used. This session samples sense matching, not mastery of anatomy.

Check understanding
- Label eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin on a body outline
- Match each sense organ to its sense: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch
- Describe a simple scenario for each sense (e.g. 'I use my nose to smell cookies baking')
“Can your child point to their eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin and tell you which sense each one is used for?”
