Class 1 EVS My Body and Sense Organs Worksheet
Class 1 EVS · My body and the five senses · 56 questions with answers
The first EVS topic almost every Class 1 syllabus opens with, and the one children find easiest to talk about because the subject matter is already attached to them. This sheet moves from naming body parts to matching each sense organ to the job it does - which is the step that actually gets tested, and the one children muddle when they have only learned a list.
- Name the main external parts of the body and point to each one.
- Match each of the five sense organs to the sense it gives us.
- Say which sense organ you would use for a given everyday task.

While your child works
- Do the sense-organ matching out loud before writing it. A child who can say it can nearly always write it, and the reverse is not true.
- Taste and smell get confused more than any other pair. If that happens, hold a piece of fruit under the nose and then on the tongue - the distinction lands in about ten seconds.
- The last exercise is about habits rather than facts. It is worth discussing rather than marking, since a child who answers correctly and does not wash their hands has not learned it.
