Teaching the Sense of Hearing with Simple Worksheets
Need a worksheet to reinforce your students’ understanding of the Sense of Hearing? This activity is easy to align with any early science curriculum on the five senses. It gives students a clear, hands-on way to practice identifying things they can hear. Without extra prep work for you.
How to Introduce the Sense of Hearing
A good way to begin is with a simple question: What can you hear if you close your eyes?
Give students a full minute of quiet listening time. Snap your fingers, tap a pencil, or shuffle some paper. Then ask them to share what they noticed. You can extend this with a quick “sound walk” in the hallway or outside. Encourage them to describe sounds as loud or soft.
Another helpful strategy is to use real-life objects. Ring a bell, shake a container of rice, or crinkle paper. Ask: Which one is louder? Comparing sounds helps students start thinking like scientists.
Books, rhymes, and songs also work well at this stage. Many picture books highlight sounds in everyday life, and singing a simple echo song shows how we hear and repeat sound patterns.
The goal isn’t just to name sounds. It’s to help children notice, compare, and think about what their ears are telling them, skills that prepare them for deeper science learning.
About the Sense of Hearing Worksheets
Once students have explored, it helps to give them something concrete. These Sense of Hearing worksheets ask children to look at pictures, decide which items make sound, and color them in. It’s a quick check of their understanding, but it feels like play.
What’s inside:
Sense of Hearing: Color the things you can hear
Answer key
2 ready-to-print pages
Because the activity is based on coloring, it works for a wide range of learners. Pre-K, kindergarten, first grade, and SPED students can all participate without heavy reading demands.
When to Use Them
These worksheets are flexible. Teachers use them for:
Morning work
Independent practice
Quick review during a 5 senses science unit
Early finisher tasks
Classwork or centers
They’re also handy when you need something quiet but meaningful for students to work on.
If you’re looking for something simple to reinforce your lesson, these Sense of Hearing worksheets are ready to print and go. Students color the items that make sound, giving them a clear way to show what they’ve learned without extra prep on your part. With two pages and an answer key included, they fit easily into morning work, independent practice, or review during your five senses unit. It’s a quick tool that saves you time while keeping students engaged.
