The kids went to the touch booth to feel and experience different textured objects by rubbing their hands over the surface of different objects.

There was a coarse coconut shell, a rough scrub, soft cotton wool, hard stones, soft toys, ice cubes, warm water and so much more. They also had a matching and pairing activity using the Touch Boards.

The taste booth is definitely the place where the kids looked forward to some yummy treats. Teachers had lined up snacks to taste like chocolates and sugar, salty chips to spicy black pepper and the not so favoured bitter gourd and sour lime juice.

Every child came forward to try out the variety, some a bit reluctant as they watched their friends taste the lime juice and bitter gourd extract! Teachers explained how the different parts of the tongue help us to sense different astes.

The children experienced listening to the sound of many different items, ranging from a conch to whistles and bells. Musical instruments provided tones and pitches of varying types. Children enjoyed playing drums, flutes, mouth organ, cymbals and keyboards.

They danced to music and then without music and learned to enjoy the difference when they were able to hear with their ears.

The sight booth had various activities that kids performed, while the teacher explained how light travels in straight lines into the eye and how it is interpreted by the brain.

The pin-hole camera gave kids an opportunity to see how an inverted image is formed. There were binoculars and pictures showing optical illusion images. They also looked through beautiful kaleidoscopes to see different coloured patterns.

Light from a torch enabled them to see objects in light and absence of light and coloured cellophane masks were fun to
look through! The sight booth also had a mirror to show how images get inverted from left to right. There were also fun activities like puzzles, colour tablets and bead sorting.

The smell booth had smelling bottles with good smells and bad smells. There were sweet smelling perfumes, rose water, fragrant roses and jasmine, aromas of different spices, lemon grass, garlic and fruits and vegetables.

The kids did a pairing activity with the smelling bottles and learned about bad smells from a garbage can! There was also a matching activity with good and bad smells and they got to paste smiley faces on a chart for the correct answer.

The kids were filled with so many amazing facts and the sense booth day left them with a sense of wonderment about themselves and the wonderful world around them.
