4. Sensorial Learning In this method of learning,
different types of indoor and outdoor objects are
used to stimulate the five senses, such as
hearing, touch, taste, smell and sight, of a
kindergarten student. They use their senses to
explore and recognize the difference between
various objects. In this activity-based learning,

states of different objects. The aforementioned
teaching methods are used in many kindergartens.
