What it teaches
The five senses and which one applies. It is the first time a child is asked to think about how they know something rather than about what they know, and that is a genuinely new kind of question at five or six.
How it works
A thing appears — something you would hear, see, smell, taste or touch — and the five senses are the answers. Three levels change the length of the round and how many senses are offered.
The question is always named on the card, so a child is never left looking at a song and four senses wondering what is being asked.
What to look for
The cases with two answers are worth arguing over. A fire can be seen and felt; bread can be smelled and tasted. The game takes the strongest one, and a child who objects has understood more than one who agrees.
