Let's solve this "Match the Pictures" worksheet step by step.

---

Objective:

Match each picture at the bottom to the correct sense it relates to, based on the five sense organs shown at the top:

1. Ear → Hearing
2. Mouth (with tongue) → Taste
3. Nose → Smell
4. Eye → Sight
5. Hand → Touch

We need to match the 10 pictures below to the correct sense.

---

Step 1: Identify what each picture represents

Here are the images in order:

First row (top):
1. Xylophone – makes sound → Hearing (Ear)
2. Sweaty sock – smells bad → Smell (Nose)
3. Dog with drool – tasting something? But more likely showing taste or smell? Wait — dogs often taste/smell food, but here it’s a dog with drool and maybe snow? Actually, this one is ambiguous. Let’s look closer. It seems like a dog with its mouth open and drool coming out, possibly from eating something sour or spicy? But it could be associated with taste.
- However, taste is usually linked to food or flavor. Let's keep it in mind.
4. Rose – has a pleasant smell → Smell (Nose)
5. Lollipop – sweet, eaten → Taste (Mouth)

Second row (bottom):
6. Lemon – sour taste → Taste (Mouth)
7. Scarf – soft texture → Touch (Hand)
8. Maracas – make noise when shaken → Hearing (Ear)
9. Butterfly – seen visually → Sight (Eye)
10. Clock – tells time, but we see it → Sight (Eye) — though some might argue hearing if ticking, but it's shown as a visual object.

Wait — let's re-evaluate carefully.

---

Now, assign each image to the correct sense:

#### 1. Xylophone → Makes music → Hearing → Ear

#### 2. Sweaty sock → Has a strong smell (bad odor) → Smell → Nose

#### 3. Dog with drool → This is tricky. The dog appears to have drool and possibly ice/snow around it. But the main idea is that it's reacting to something — perhaps a sour or unpleasant taste? Or maybe just a messy dog? But since it's drooling, it may be tasting something. So likely → Taste → Mouth

#### 4. Rose → Fragrant flower → Smell → Nose

#### 5. Lollipop → Sweet candy, eaten → Taste → Mouth

#### 6. Lemon → Sour taste → Taste → Mouth

#### 7. Scarf → Soft, warm fabric → Touch → Hand

#### 8. Maracas → Musical instrument, produces sound → Hearing → Ear

#### 9. Butterfly → Colorful insect, seen with eyes → Sight → Eye

#### 10. Clock → Shows time, but we see it → Sight → Eye

Wait — now we have two items for sight, two for hearing, three for taste, two for smell, and only one for touch?

Let’s check:

- Ear (Hearing): Xylophone, Maracas → 2
- Nose (Smell): Sweaty sock, Rose → 2
- Mouth (Taste): Dog with drool, Lollipop, Lemon → 3
- Eye (Sight): Butterfly, Clock → 2
- Hand (Touch): Scarf → 1

That’s 10 total — perfect.

But the grid has 5 columns (for the 5 senses), and 2 rows of blank boxes → so 2 per sense.

So we need exactly two pictures per sense.

But currently:
- Taste: 3 items → too many
- Touch: Only 1 item → missing one

Ah! There's a problem.

Wait — let's re-examine the dog with drool.

Is it really taste? Or could it be touch? Probably not.

Alternatively, maybe the scarf is touch, and the dog is smell? But the dog doesn’t seem to be smelling anything.

Wait — perhaps the dog is tasting something, like sour food, hence drooling.

But then we have three taste items.

What about the clock? Could it be hearing? If it's ticking, yes — but it's shown as a visual clock, no sound indicated.

The maracas and xylophone are clearly hearing.

The sweaty sock and rose are clearly smell.

The lollipop and lemon are clearly taste.

The butterfly and clock are both sight.

But scarf is touch.

So far:
- Touch: scarf → only one
- Taste: lollipop, lemon, dog → three
- Smell: sock, rose → two
- Hearing: xylophone, maracas → two
- Sight: butterfly, clock → two

We have only one touch item, but need two.

So maybe the dog with drool is not taste?

Alternative idea: the dog might be sniffing something? But the drawing shows drool, not sniffing.

Wait — the third image is a dog with drool and snow — maybe it’s cold? But that’s not relevant.

Alternatively, maybe the scarf is touch, and another item should be touch.

But all others are sensory in different ways.

Wait — what about the lollipop? Is it only taste? Yes.

But maybe the dog is not taste.

Another possibility: the dog is smelling something? But the image shows drool, which suggests taste.

Hmm.

Wait — perhaps the dog is touching something? No indication.

Let’s look again.

Wait — is there another item that could be touch?

No — the rest are:
- Xylophone → sound
- Sock → smell
- Dog → ??
- Rose → smell
- Lollipop → taste
- Lemon → taste
- Scarf → touch
- Maracas → sound
- Butterfly → sight
- Clock → sight

So only scarf is touch.

But we need two per sense.

Unless... the dog is touch? Unlikely.

Wait — maybe the dog is hearing? But no.

Wait — perhaps the dog is tasting something, and we must accept that taste has three items.

But that can't be — the grid has 5 columns × 2 rows = 10 spaces → 10 items, so 2 per sense.

Therefore, each sense must have exactly two items.

So we must find a way to assign two per sense.

Let’s try again.

---

Re-evaluate:

#### 1. Xylophone → Sound → Hearing → Ear ✔
#### 2. Sweaty sock → Bad smell → Smell → Nose ✔
#### 3. Dog with drool → Drool implies taste → Mouth ✔
#### 4. Rose → Pleasant smell → Smell → Nose ✔
#### 5. Lollipop → Sweet taste → Taste → Mouth ✔
#### 6. Lemon → Sour taste → Taste → Mouth ✔
→ Already three taste items: dog, lollipop, lemon

But only two allowed.

So one of these must not be taste.

Wait — could the dog be touch? No.

Could the dog be hearing? No.

Wait — the dog might be seeing something? But no.

Wait — maybe the dog is smelling something? But the image shows drool, not nose sniffing.

Alternatively, maybe the dog is touching something? Not shown.

Wait — perhaps the lollipop is touch? No — you taste it.

Wait — the scarf is touch → ✔

But only one.

Wait — what about the clock? Is it hearing? Only if it ticks, but no sound shown.

But the maracas and xylophone are both hearing → that’s two.

Smell: sock, rose → two.

Sight: butterfly, clock → two.

Taste: lollipop, lemon → two.

Then touch: only scarf → needs one more.

So who is missing?

Wait — the dog must be touch? But no.

Wait — the dog is tasting something, but maybe it's not a taste item.

Wait — perhaps the dog is hearing? Like barking? But no.

Wait — maybe the dog is smelling something? But the drool suggests taste.

Wait — unless the dog is tasting something sour, like lemon, but the lemon is separate.

But the dog is not connected.

Wait — perhaps the dog is touching something? No.

Wait — maybe the lollipop is touch? But no — you eat it.

Wait — the scarf is touch, and maybe the clock is touch? But you see it.

Wait — perhaps the maracas are touch? You hold them — but their purpose is sound.

So the primary sense is hearing.

Same for xylophone.

So the only touch item is scarf.

But we need two.

Wait — what about the rose? Can you feel it? Yes — petals are soft. So touch?

But the rose is primarily known for smell.

Similarly, lemon — you can squeeze it → touch, but primary sense is taste.

So the scarf is the clearest touch item.

Wait — maybe the dog is touching something? But the image shows drool, not touching.

Wait — perhaps the dog is hearing? Like a loud noise? But no.

Wait — maybe the dog is seeing something? But no.

Wait — perhaps the dog is tasting something, and we must accept that taste has three items, but that can't be.

Wait — let's count again:

Items:
1. Xylophone → hearing
2. Sock → smell
3. Dog → ?
4. Rose → smell
5. Lollipop → taste
6. Lemon → taste
7. Scarf → touch
8. Maracas → hearing
9. Butterfly → sight
10. Clock → sight

So:
- Hearing: xyl, maracas → 2
- Smell: sock, rose → 2
- Taste: lollipop, lemon → 2
- Touch: scarf → 1
- Sight: butterfly, clock → 2

Only touch has one.

So one more touch item needed.

But which one?

Wait — the lollipop — you hold it → touch? Yes, but the primary sense is taste.

Similarly, the maracas — you hold them → touch, but hearing is primary.

But the activity is about matching to senses, and the organ shown is the primary sense.

For example, lollipop goes under mouth because you taste it, not because you touch it.

Similarly, scarf goes under hand because you feel it.

So scarf is touch.

But only one.

Wait — what about the dog? If it's drooling, it's tasting something → mouth.

But then taste has three: dog, lollipop, lemon.

But we only have two spots for taste.

So perhaps the dog is not taste.

Wait — maybe the dog is smell? Like sniffing something? But the image shows drool, not sniffing.

Wait — perhaps the dog is hearing? Like barking at something? But no.

Wait — perhaps the dog is seeing something? But no.

Wait — maybe the dog is touching something? But no.

Wait — the rose — you can see it and smell it, but also touch it.

But the primary sense is smell.

Similarly, lemon — you see it, touch it, taste it — but primary is taste.

So how to resolve?

Wait — maybe the dog is touch? But no.

Wait — perhaps I misread the image.

Let me describe the third image: a dog with drool, and snowflakes around it? Or is it just drool?

Looking at the image: it’s a dog with its mouth open, drool coming out, and maybe some snow or ice around its mouth? That could suggest cold, so touch?

Yes! Maybe the dog is feeling cold — so touch?

If the dog is experiencing cold temperature, then it’s touch.

So the dog could be touch.

And scarf is also touch.

Then:
- Touch: dog (feeling cold), scarf → 2

Then:
- Taste: lollipop, lemon → 2
- Smell: sweaty sock, rose → 2
- Hearing: xylophone, maracas → 2
- Sight: butterfly, clock → 2

Perfect!

So the key insight: the dog is feeling cold (touch), not tasting or smelling.

Even though it has drool, the context might be cold weather, so touch.

The drool might be due to cold, not taste.

So final matching:

---

✔ Correct Matching:

#### Ear (Hearing):
- Xylophone
- Maracas

#### Mouth (Taste):
- Lollipop
- Lemon

#### Nose (Smell):
- Sweaty sock
- Rose

#### Eye (Sight):
- Butterfly
- Clock

#### Hand (Touch):
- Dog (feeling cold)
- Scarf

Final Answer:

| Sense | Images |
|-------------|----------------------------|
| Ear | Xylophone, Maracas |
| Mouth | Lollipop, Lemon |
| Nose | Sweaty sock, Rose |
| Eye | Butterfly, Clock |
| Hand | Dog, Scarf |
