Our 5 Senses
It is our SENSES which give us the ability to touch, to taste, to smell, to hear and to see.

They warn of danger. The smell of smoke, the sight of a cathead, the prick of a needle, the honk of a horn.

They help us enjoy our world. The soccer goal cheer, the bird's song, the taste of chocolate.

Your Task is to find out 

Which organ (or body part) do we use with each of our senses?

Which sense do we use most? Which least? Do you have a favorite?

And the question is

Which of your 5 senses is the most important to you?

How are you going to decide?
