Match Sense Organs: Five Senses Activities

These five senses worksheets and real photo cards help young learners identify sense organs and match them to senses and everyday actions.

I created this resource to make the connection between body parts, senses and familiar activities easier to understand. Students practise matching eyes with sight, ears with hearing, the nose with smell, the tongue with taste and skin with touch.

What’s Included

• 64 pages, including teaching guidance and answers
• 50 reusable cards: 5 sense-organ cards, 5 sense cards and 40 everyday-action photo cards
• 2 matching mats
• 5 worksheets connecting a body part, sense and photograph
• 4 cut-and-paste worksheets with their own cut-out pieces
• Additional identification, matching and independent practice
• 20 assessment items and a recording sheet
• Answer keys and a photo-card reference

Classroom Use

I recommend starting with two choices, then increasing the number as students become more confident. Use the cards and worksheets for individual teaching, small groups, learning stations or revision.

The reusable cards can be laminated and stored separately from the cut-and-paste pieces. Preparation and storage guidance is included.

Who Is It For?

Suitable for Early Years, KS1 and learners with special educational needs, including students on the autism spectrum who benefit from visual support and structured practice.

Students can respond by speaking, pointing, eye gaze or AAC. Adults can read the instructions aloud, so independent reading and writing are not required.
