What the chapters cover in the national curriculum in England:
The Five Senses for Kids is an interactive science game that teaches children aged 5–7 to name and label the parts of the body and say which body part goes with each of the five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.
Guided by Ollie the owl, children draw a cartoon boy called Bo by dragging his body parts into place, then label his head, neck, arms, elbows, hands, legs, knees and feet. They rebuild Bo's face and find his eyes, ears, nose, mouth and tongue.
Next they test each sense: opening Bo's eyes to light up a dark park, guessing a bird, bell or drum by sound, sniffing a flower and burnt toast, tasting a sour lemon, and tickling Bo with a feather to discover that all of our skin can feel touch. Every line is read aloud, so children don't need to read on their own yet.
The five senses are sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. They are how our bodies find out about the world around us, from seeing colours and hearing music to smelling food, tasting something sweet and feeling whether something is hot or cold.
We see with our eyes, hear with our ears, smell with our nose, taste with our tongue and feel touch with our skin. In Year 1, children learn to match each of these body parts to its sense and label them on a drawing.
No, skin all over the body can feel touch, not just the hands. Many young children think touch belongs only to the fingers, so the game lets them brush a feather over Bo's foot, arm and face to show that all of our skin can feel.
It is made for children aged 5 to 7 and matches the Year 1 science objective about naming body parts and linking them to the senses. Everything is spoken aloud, so children who are still learning to read can play on their own.
Playing everything takes about 40 minutes, split into five short chapters and a final 10-question Senses challenge. Each chapter has a spoken introduction, hands-on drag-and-tap activities, sounds, and a short recap at the end.
