Self-Esteem Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle
, Not Grade Specific,

The grid introduces affirming terms visually before learners reconstruct words from short descriptions about valuing oneself, facing fear, recognising individuality, accepting imperfection, and speaking up. The crossword requires the same vocabulary through intersecting clues. Completed versions support checking all three activities. Because the theme touches wellbeing, the resource is framed as vocabulary practice and makes no therapeutic or efficacy claim.

Senses Smell Worksheet

Senses Smell Worksheet
, Not Grade Specific,

Sense of Smell asks learners to connect familiar objects with information gathered by the nose. Students inspect each picture and circle those whose odor can help identify or describe them. The choice format reinforces that not every object is primarily investigated with the same sense. A follow-up discussion can introduce words such as fragrant, smoky, fresh, or unpleasant and can address safe smelling practices. The page serves as a concise component of a broader five-senses lesson.

Senses Taste Worksheet

Senses Taste Worksheet
, Not Grade Specific,

Sense of Taste builds an early science classification around how people gather information. Children look across the pictured items and decide which can appropriately be learned about by tasting. The task requires connecting the sensory organ and action with relevant object properties such as flavour. It also creates an opportunity to distinguish what is theoretically tasted from what is safe to put in the mouth. Students can explain each choice using the sentence frame “I can taste…” and name a likely flavour.
