Sing a Song of Senses [Tune: Farmer in the Dell]
We use our tongues to taste. We use our tongues to taste.
We taste the flavors in our food. We use our tongues to taste.
We use our ears to hear. We use our ears to hear.
We hear noses loud and soft. We use or ears to hear.
We use our eyes to see. We use our eyes to see.
We see colors all around. We use our eyes to see.
We use our noses to smell. We use our noses to smell.
We smell flowers and perfume. We use our noses to smell.
We use or hands to touch. We use or hands to touch.
We touch things both smooth and rough. We use our hands to touch.
Five Senses Song [Tune: Old MacDonald Had a Farm]
On my face I have two eyes. I use them every day.
They are used to help me see, when I work and play.
With a look, look here, and a look, look there.
Here a look, there a look. Everywhere a look, look.
On my face I have two eyes. I use them every day.On my face I have one nose. I use it carefully.
I just sniff, the I can tell When something is smelly.
With a sniff, sniff here. And a sniff, sniff there.
Here a sniff, there a sniff. Everywhere a sniff, sniff.
On my face I have one nose. I use it carefully.In my mouth I have one tongue. I use it when I eat.
Tasting with it I can tell The sour from the sweet.
With a lick, lick here, and a lick, lick there. Here a lick, there a lick.
Everywhere a lick, lick. In my mouth I have one tongue. I use it when I eat.On my head I have two ears That listen all day long.
And if I didn't have them there, I couldn't here this song!
With a listen here, and a listen there.
Here a listen, there a listen. Everywhere a listen, listen.
On my head I have two ears That listen all day long!On my body I have skin That feels the cold and heat.
It stretches from atop my head Way down to my feet.
With a touch, touch here, And a touch, touch there.
Here a touch, there a touch. Everywhere a touch, touch.
On my body I have skin That feels the cold and heat.
Five Senses [Tune:Bingo ]
There are fove senses that we all know,
Can you help me name them?
See, hear, taste, touch, smell
See, hear, taste, touch, smell
See, hear, taste, touch, smell
These are our five senses!
Discovering My World [Tune:You are my Sunshine]
I have five senses. Five helpful senses,
Teaching me all thing I want to know.
I use my eyes, ears, mouth, nose and fingers to discover the world as I grow!
Hokey-Pokey
You put your fingers in, You put your fingers out;
You put your fingers in, and shake them all about.
You do the hokey-pokey, and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!You put your blinky eyes in....
You put your listen ears in....
You put your sniffing nose in ...
You stick your tasting tongue in...
