This pictionary worksheet is about our 5 senses. It can be used as a classroom poster and also this can be used by students to make a role play conversation by asking each other the functions of each part of the senses for example what the eyes can or can't do, can the eyes taste, touch, smell or hear something? the same questions can be done with the rest of the senses. The classroom can be hilarious depending on the creativity of the students. At the end all the students can listen to the song of five senses and sing together. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXXiyIGqliE. Have fun! Thank you.



The 5 Senses - Pictionary

This worksheet's objective is drilling vocabulary on "descriptive adjectives" used to describe the way something looks. It is best used after learning about stative verbs (see, look, smell, sound) so that students can not only use the correct grammar, but also describe how something looks/sounds/smells like.

Descriptive adjectives 

An introduction to 8 basic spices and 8 basic herbs. A infromative but breif handout which describes common herbs and spices and itroduces their taste, properties and uses to students. It would work well as an additon to lessons on food, describing taste and smell, cultural cusines and traditons and cooking vocabulary. The Quiz is a short ten question round up and most of the answers can be found in the work sheet. 

Herbs and Spices Introuction Worksheet and Quiz

1. This worksheet is perfect to combine with an experience: bring 3 balloons to the classroom, fille with water, air, and ice.  Introduce the main states of matter. Let kids play with them, touch, smell and whatever they want to do. After this ask them to draw the particles in exercise one and answer the questions. 

States of matter

five senses

This is one worksheet in a set of 5 to help young learners work on their senses. Hearing, taste, touch, sight, smell. You can adapt it for older kids by having them write sentences on the worksheet, for example: Flowers smell good. Then they would have to learn count and noncount nouns, too.

5 Senses Hearing

Observe the picture, identify the characters and their actions, describe the setting, incorporate emotions by describing how the characters feel and why they feel that way. Also  include sensory details in the composition(describe what the characters see, hear, smell, taste, and feel).

Picture composition (Park scene)

This is a simple worksheet using black and white clip arts (for better scanning/ photocopying purposes) as basis or subject for the sentence construction. The pupils will be guided to use Adjectives in constructing their sentences. They can make simple sentences about the pictures' subject's color, size, texture, sound, taste, smell, and or other qualities. This worksheet also works as a coloring sheet the children can color only after they are able to construct and write sentences about the picture. The pupils can also choose which picture they like to answer because the teacher can show them the choices before starting the activity. It can also be used for recitation purposes or small group/s activity. The facilitator or teacher can show the picture and the 5 blanks, have the pupils brainstorm Adjectives about the subject and then help each other in making a sentence. One member can also be assigned to either write the answer on the board, another paper or on the worksheet itself. Enjoy!

Have students hunt for words that follow a pattern around your room.

Word Hunt

This worksheet, designed for A2 CEFR level students, focuses on simple techniques to alleviate common ailments. It aims to teach students practical methods to deal with hiccups, a stuffy nose, headaches, and numb limbs. The activity begins with students reading short explanations about each technique: using an ice cube to stop hiccups, the tongue and thumb technique for clearing a stuffy nose, smelling cinnamon to improve memory, shaking the head to wake up a numb limb, and pinching between the fingers to alleviate headaches. 

Following the reading, students will answer comprehension questions to reinforce their understanding and match vocabulary words related to the ailments and techniques. To encourage critical thinking and personal engagement, the worksheet includes discussion questions where students can share their experiences and thoughts on the effectiveness of these techniques. For homework, students will research a similar trick or technique to alleviate a common ailment and write a paragraph explaining how it works. They will then present their findings to the class in the next lesson. This activity not only enhances reading and comprehension skills but also promotes practical knowledge and peer learning.
