5 Senses Writing Prompt: Fun Fair

Overview:

This worksheet helps students develop a descriptive writing passage about a fun fair, encouraging them to use the five senses to create a detailed scene. Students will brainstorm sensory details before writing their own description. Designed for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify sensory details related to sight, sound, taste, touch and smell.
• Organise sensory details into a cohesive and engaging description.
• Strengthen descriptive writing skills by crafting vivid, sensory-rich sentences.

How the Activity Works:
Students will begin by observing the image of a fun fair. Students then brainstorm sensory details based on what they can see, hear, smell, taste, and feel in the scene. After gathering their ideas, students use these details to write a descriptive passage, focusing on creating a vivid and engaging picture for the reader. This activity promotes the use of sensory language to enhance their writing.
