Five Senses Theme for Preschool
Using the Weekly and Daily Planning FormsIn the weekly planning form, ALL of the boxes are editable! Simply print as they are OR move activities to the days you want them or replace activities with your own!You’ll find my standards listed under each activity. This is where you will enter YOUR program’s standards (that you added to the Conversion Chart) 1. Refer to the conversion chart you completed and look up my Standard Letter/Number.2. Replace that letter and number with YOUR program’s equivalent that you typed into
the Conversion Chart.3. Print!
The Weekly AND Daily Planning forms are both 100% editable so you can move the activities to the days you want to do them or even replace them with your own activities! (If you do that-be sure to change them on the daily planning forms as well AND replace the standards in that box with the correct standards for the activity you have replaced mine with!)NOTE: The blue areas will NOT print blue, don’t worry! Those areas are the “editable areas”. They will print with a white background when you print!
Using the Standards Conversion Chart
1. Type in each of your program’s equivalent standards next to my standard.
2. Save to your computer. 3. Refer to this chart each time you use a theme from Preschool Cubby

The Five Senses: Sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste. One week may not be enough for this theme! You could spend one week on each sense! Babies learn about the world around them strictly through their senses. As preschoolers, our children have the comprehension, vocabulary and ability to learn even more through their senses.

5 Senses Song sung to The Farmer In the Dell
I use my eyes to see. I use my eyes to see. When I want to see the stars I use my eyes to see!
I use my nose to smell. I use my nose to smell. When I want to smell a flower, I use my nose to
smell!
I use my tongue to taste. I use my tongue to taste.
When I want to taste ice cream, I use my tongue to taste.
I use my ears to hear. I use my ears to hear. When I want to hear a song, I use my ears to hear.
I use my hands to touch. I use my hands to touch. When I want to pet a dog or cat, I use my hands to
touch.

Print the following pages and laminate.
Place the picture of the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hand inside a file folder.
The children sort the remaining pictures under the sense they would use to experience each picture. And keep in mind, there is no “right” or “wrong” way
to do this! It’s all about discussion of the senses and how we learn about the
world! Each child may have their own idea of the sense used.
For example, one child might place a skunk under the sense of smell because they know how badly a skunk smells. Another child, however, may place it under touch because it looks soft.
