5 Senses Preschool & Tales     Welcome Song Introduction:  We have five senses that we use everyday to help us think about the things around us.  We have the sense of sight. We can see colors or shapes.  We have the sense of taste. We know that ice cream is cold and tastes sweet and creamy.  We can use our sense of smell. We can smell cookies baking, or flowers in the garden.  We can hear things too. We can hear birds chirp, people talking, or kids playing.  Lastly we have our sense of touch. We can feel if things are hot or cold, fuzzy or rough, soft or hard.

I use my eyes to look and see. I use my ears to hear. I use my nose to smell things. I use my hands to touch. I use my mouth to taste The things I love to eat so much. Five little senses standing in a row, To see, hear, smell, touch and taste The things I need to know.   Book: You Smell and Taste and Feel and See and Hear  Song: Sing a Song of Senses (sung to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell") We use our tongues to taste.
