Introduction
- Have you ever thought about how you can see the bright blue sky, hear your favourite song, smell a beautiful flower, taste a sweet candy, or feel the warmth of the sun?
- This is all because of our sense organs!
- These special parts of our body help us understand and experience the world around us.
- Without them, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the colours, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures that make life exciting!
What are Organs?
Our body is made up of many important parts, and some of these parts are called organs. Organs help us do different things to stay healthy and active.
- Some organs work inside our body, like the heart, which pumps blood, and the lungs, which help us breathe.
- Some organs help us understand the world around us, like our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. These are called sense organs because they help us sense things.
Organs like heart, brain, kidney are super heroes.
What are Sense Organs?
Sense organs are special parts in our bodies, like eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin, that help us see, hear, smell, taste, and touch the amazing world around us. They work together with other organs to make sure we experience and understand everything.

The Five Sense Organs
We have five main sense organs:
1. Eyes – Look and See
Imagine your eyes are like magic windows. Eyes help you see all the cool and colourful things around you, like your favourite toys and the bright blue sky.
Eyes
2. Ears – Listen Up!
Ears help you hear. They let us hear the laughter of friends, the buzzing of bees, and even our favourite songs.
Ears
3. Nose – Sniff, Sniff
The nose helps us to smell. It helps you sniff and enjoy the yummy smells of cookies, flowers, and all sorts of good things.
Nose
4. Tongue – Tasting
Your tongue helps you eat and taste delicious foods like ice cream, and fruits. It also lets you talk and sing.

5. Skin – Feel the Fun
The skin lets you feel the softness of your teddy bear, the warmth of the sun, and the cool breeze on your face.

Sometimes, your sense organs work together, like when you taste a yummy ice cream cone. Your eyes see the colours, your nose smells the sweetness, and your mouth tastes the deliciousness!
