Play a guessing game with students by placing items with different textures into several paper bags. Give students a chance to feel the items in the bags and have them describe and guess the item.
Show the items to the students and discuss the different textures.
Ask the students to think about different textures around the classroom. Give them 1 to 2 minutes to think, and then call on them one at a time to stand up and point to the item in the classroom.
Place a plastic bin with different pieces of textured fabric scraps on each table in the classroom. Explain to the students that they are going to create a collage.
Provide each student with a piece of construction paper and a glue stick. Explain they need to find pieces of fabric with at least five different textures and glue them to the paper.
Ask the students to share their collages with the rest of the class and have them point out the different textures. Display the collages around the classroom.
