This easy worksheet helps first graders use their five senses to find describing words. Part A offers nine sense-based activities, including filling in adjectives for smelling popcorn, touching a tiny bunny, and hearing thunder rumble outside. Part B asks children to describe what they see and feel, completing sentences about a playful kitten, soft beach sand, and a chewy cookie.
It builds awareness that good writers use sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
