Students revise the 5 senses and why these are important for use in everyday life. To increase the awareness of their senses, students are blindfolded and taken on a guided exploration of a short trail made up of different materials. Through questioning, students are encouraged to make observations about the different materials and use their language skills to describe what they are sensing (feeling). To increase the excitement and sensory input of this activity students are also asked to remove their shoes and experience the trail barefoot.
This activity is specifically designed for prep and year 1 students. For older students please see Blindfold Challenge.
