To u c h
- You have heard the word touch before, like in this sentence: “The
sense of touch is something you use almost all the time.” - Touch is to sense by feeling something with your skin.
- Taking turns with your partner, use the word touch or touched in a
sentence. Talk about something you like to touch or something that
you actually touched today. Each person gets three turns.
Sensitive
- You have heard the word sensitive before, like in this sentence: “If
you go outside in the snow wearing only a T-shirt, then all the nerves
under your skin will become very sensitive, and you will feel cold.” - Sensitive means able to feel something strongly and quickly.
- Taking turns with your partner, tell one another about things that are
sensitive, like a little baby is sensitive toward loud noises, or an open
wound on your knee is sensitive to water and touch. Each person gets
three turns.
