 Want to have fun and develop your senses?  Try these ideas   

SMELL:  Bring in a piece of soap, perfumed clothing, chocolate bar, fresh ground coffee, onion, or peanuts. Have the member describe the item without looking at it. 

TASTE:  Sweet, salty, sour, and bitter candy, potato chips, vinegar, lemon drops. Possible question Ask them to share a childhood member about a time when they sampled a similar flavor. 

TOUCH: Have members touch a sponge, silk, plastic, sand paper, plastic wrap. Possible question As a top fashion designer, have them describe their latest creation with the material offered. 

SIGHT: Gather postcards and pictures of beautiful locations, beaches, mountains. Tell the members they belong to a travel agency how would they promote the place and request a verbal tour of the land. 

SOUND: Using sound clips from audio tapes or compact discs, chose the sound of a gentle stream, crackling fire, waves breaking on rocks, a thunderstorm, etc. Tell the members the sounds were recorded on their last vacation have them describe the surroundings and events.
