How Many Senses?
A song about the five senses, linked to their body parts.
Lyrics
This is my eye
It helps me to see
Everything around me
And all the things to see
And all the, and all the
And all the things to see
How many senses do we have?
One, two, three, four, five
They taste the flavour
They make you safer
They help make the world come alive
Yeah they help make the world come alive
This is my ear
It helps me to hear…
This is my nose
It helps me to smell…
This is my mouth
It helps me to taste…
This is my hand
It helps me to touch…
Instructions
Ask children about the five senses. Lay out flashcards (or draw) the relevant body parts and put them in the same order as the song.
The song structure is: Verse 1, Verse 2, Chorus (x2), Verse 3, Verse 4, Chorus (x2), Verse 5 and Chorus (x5).
Add actions so the children are pointing at the relevant body part.
The chorus has some fast words but with practice, ages five and up should manage.
