This medium worksheet focuses on sensory describing words in fuller sentences. Part A gives nine fill-in-the-blank prompts about a bright campfire, tickly grass, and a ringing recess bell, asking first graders to pick adjectives that match each sense. Part B is a matching activity that pairs the senses — see, hear, smell, and taste — with describing words like sparkly, crunchy, stinky, and salty, helping children sort adjectives into the right sensory category with confidence.
