School is in full swing, but
learning can always come from the home as well. A valuable
lesson to them is that God was really creative when He made
humans, especially when it comes to the five senses. Use the
following activity as an opening to talk with your children
about creation and being thankful for the way God made them.
A creative and fun way to teach and apply one of the five senses
with your kids is through an at-home Smelling Bee. To set up
this activity, choose five or six foods that have distinctive
smells they can easily decipher. Some great examples for
well-known food smells are mustard, chocolate and peanut butter.
Get creative! Once the foods and smells have been chosen, set
them up on a table and keep them covered up so the kids have to
use their nose and not their eyes to identify them. You can even
blindfold them for that extra insurance that sight is not a
factor.
Lead them through the line of covered foods and ask them to
either verbally identify the food or have them write them down
at the end. Cheer them on and have fun!! |
