Supplemental Project Ideas
Let’s Make Sensory Books!
http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lessonplan/let%E2%80%99s-make-sensory-books
Create Exploratory Centers such as:
Touch Center
Touch and feel bags - Have 12 bags filled with different items. The
students put their hands into the bags and draw what they think
are in the bags. Create a sheet with 12 boxes for recording
drawings.
Sound Center
Sound Matching- Use dark colored film canisters and put objects
into them. On the bottoms of the canisters put colored dots with
letters on them. Make two full sets so that a group of 4 could play
in teams of two. The canisters are in pairs with matching objects
inside and matching letters on the bottom. The children take turns
choosing one container and then shaking the rest to find the one
that matches. Then their partner takes a turn. They confirm the
match via the letters on the bottom.
Guess that Sound – Use opaque containers to make “mystery
containers”. Each container contains an object that is unknown to
the students. The students shake and then draw a picture of what
they think is in the container.
Smell/Taste Center
What’s That Smell??- Make up containers Styrofoam cups covered
with aluminum foil with different smells. Poke holes in the top of
the foil so students can smell but not see the contents. (Be aware
of any allergies that may be present in your class). Have enough
sets for each group of students to share. We do this as a whole
class activity - guessing smells, etc.
My Jelly-Belly tastes like. . . - Using jelly-belly beans; have the
students hold their nose and chew on a jelly bean. You have a
sugar sensation but no taste. After they chew for about 20 seconds
I tell them to let go of their nose and they get a blast of flavor.
Discuss the role of our nose with taste.
