[bright music] - Hello, hola.

My name is Brenda.

[speaks in Spanish] And today we're gonna be learning about the five senses.

[speaking in Spanish] Do you know what your five senses are?

They are touch, tacto.

Hearing, oido.

Sight, vista.

Smell, olfato.

And taste, gusto.

These are different things that our body can do to better understand what is all around us.

Let's do five, cinco, activities, actividades, to learn more about our five, cinco, senses, sentidos.

First we will explore our sense of touch, tacto.

I have in front of me three items that a friend has put in front of me.

I can't see them.

All right here I have, it's a squishy ball.

It's like a fidget toy.

Okay, and it feels like it has, like balls inside of it.

It's really squishy.

It feels kind of funny.

Okay, next it's...

Okay, it feels really smooth and it's hard and it's a little cold.

I think it's a shell.

Yeah.

And finally here, I think I have a stuffed animal.

It feels really soft.

And yeah, I don't know what type of stuffed animal it is though.

Maybe a bear.

No, I don't know.

All right, so let's see.

These are a lot of balls inside a squishy one.

This is really cool.

This is a shell.

It's really pretty.

And then this is a stuffed animal.

It's a giraffe.

I would not have guessed it's a giraffe.

Next I want you to get a piece of paper and also something to write with.

We will explore our sense of hearing, oido.

Oido, hearing.

I want you to get into a comfortable position and we're going to close our eyes.

And after that we're gonna take a moment and listen to the first five things, cinco cosas, that we hear.

[speaking in Spanish] All right, so let's try it together.

Get into a comfortable position.

Close your eyes and let's listen to the first five things we hear.

[fridge humming] [footsteps stomping] [people chatting] [engine rumbling] [car puttering] Okay, we can open up our eyes now.

What are the first five things that you heard?

I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna draw out the first five things that I heard on the piece of paper.

The first thing that I heard was actually the fridge.

[fridge humming] I also heard some walking on the floor above me.

[footsteps stomping] After that I also heard, I believe it was like talking outside.

[people chatting] After that I heard like a helicopter or a plane outside I think.

[engine rumbling] And lastly, I heard a car pass by outside.

[car puttering] What did you hear?

What do we learn when we listen?

[speaking in Spanish] We learn about what is all around us.

We learn that some sounds are louder than others.

Some sounds might even make us feel scared.

Sounds are important because they let us know what is around us and sometimes they can keep us safe or also they can serve as a warning and some other sounds can even make us feel calm.

Sounds can make us feel many different things.

Let's explore our sense of smell, olfato.

Olfato, smell.

We're gonna be looking at some videos and we're gonna pretend that we are in those places that we see.

We have to figure out what kinds of smells are in that place.

This is a bakery and I can imagine smelling freshly baked bread.

Here we see someone is mowing the lawn.

I can imagine the smell of grass.

This place is a park and it's raining.

I can imagine I'm smelling the dirt because it's raining.

All of these smells are smells that I really like.

They make me feel calm sometimes.

What are some smells that you like?

I also like the smell of the food I cook.

And another smell that I really like is smelling books.

Some people like to smell books, others not so much, but there's a smell there that I really like.

Maybe try it out sometime.

Now I'm going to show you some pictures to learn more about our sense of taste, gusto.

Gusto, taste.

We usually taste things that we eat, so let's look at these pictures of things that we might have already eaten before and let's try and guess how they might taste.

This is a green apple and I can feel my mouthwatering.

It's sour.

This is a banana.

I can definitely say that these are sweet.

These are chili peppers.

I know they are spicy.

I usually eat them with food, not by themselves because they're really spicy sometimes.

Next we have these potato chips and these are salty.

I make sure to have some water after eating them.

What faces do you make when you eat something?

What about when you eat something sour?

What face do you make?

I usually go like this.

That's the face that I make when I eat something sour.

What about spicy?

What face do you make when you eat something spicy.

If I eat something spicy, I usually do this and I don't like this with my hand 'cause it's really spicy.

We can communicate with others with our faces to show them how we are feeling.

Our last sense to explore is sight, vista.

Vista, sight.

What are everyday things we see?

The TV, a phone, or tablet.

What about a book or when you look in the mirror?

The light coming through the window in the morning.

Outside we can see people doing their jobs.

Walking.

We also see birds and trees.

I like to go outside sometimes and watch birds.

I like to see the way that they fly, how big or small they are, or just to see what color they are.

I do this activity to not think about so many things that make me upset.

I do it to take a break and to keep calm.

It's really nice sometimes to just be calm and not think about so many things.

Let's review the five senses they are touch, tacto.

Tacto.

Hearing, oido.

Oido.

Sight, vista.

Vista.

Smell, olfato.

Olfato.

And taste, gusto.

Gusto.

Thanks for exploring the five senses with me.

I hope you had fun in doing these activities and I hope you do them with a friend and maybe even teach them some of the Spanish words that we went over.

Thanks again, gracias.

Adios, bye.
