Spinning Senses

Here is a great We All Win game from one of our YogaKids Teachers!

Cut a piece of cardboard into a  circle and divide into sections labeled with all the 5 senses: hear, see, small, taste and touch. Put a bottle in the center. Gather items that have a strong scent (essential oils are perfect), taste-able items (sour, bitter, salty, sweet), and touch-able items (examples: sand paper, velvet, plastic, wood).

Everyone takes a turn spinning the bottle. On your turn, play out as follows:

  • Hear: Close your eyes. The person on your right makes a sound.  Guess what the sound is.
  • See: The person on your right chooses an object in view. Guess what the object is. (I Spy)
  • Smell: Close your eyes. The person on our right chooses something for you to smell. Smell it and guess what it is.
  • Taste: Close your eyes. The person on your right chooses something for you to taste. Taste it and guess what it is.
  • Touch: Close your eyes. The person on your right chooses something for you to touch. Touch it and guess what it is..

What a great way to strengthen our senses!
