Find a place to sit outdoors, preferably away from city sounds. Have children close their eyes or put on blindfolds. 1. Hearing: Listen for sounds of nature and try to discern what they are. 2. Touch: With blindfold on have students pass around an object and describe what it feels like. (i.e., rock, pinecone, leaf, stick) 3. Smell: After touching, students can describe the smell of the object. 4. Taste: You can experiment with the sense of taste with washed edible items such as mint leafs, dandelion leaves, salt, other herbs and spices. 5. Sight: draw or describe an object you look at. Options: students can work in partners with one student blind-folded and the other one providing an object to touch. Another fun activity is to walk a partner around a small area to explore with a blindfold.
