Here's a fun prompt using our 5 senses to make our writing come alive.
Presenting........ the 5 senses!
1. sight
2. taste
3. smell
4. hearing (sound)
5. touch (feel)
What is your favorite color? Maybe it's green, or blue, or something exotic like periwinkle or blood-red.
On a sheet of paper, or in your writer's notebook, write down your favorite color.
Now think about the 5 senses. What does your color look like? Taste like? Smell like? Sound like? Feel like?
Here's an example for the color yellow.
Yellow looks like the skirt my mom wears in the summer.
Yellow tastes like ripe bananas in a big bowl.
Yellow smells like the lead in pencils.
Yellow sounds like the sun crossing the sky.
Yellow feels like a cool drink of lemonade down my throat.
What does YOUR favorite color look, taste, smell, sound, and feel like? Use your imagination and have fun!
