There’s a sense missing from the list: Proprioception.

Copy this definition

Proprioception is the sense of where your body is, how it’s moving, and the forces on it.

Try out some of these activities that use your sense of proprioception.

1. Close your eyes. Balance on one leg. Try both left and right legs.
2. Balance on one leg. Then bend at the hips with your arms out as if you are being an aeroplane.
3. Close your eyes. Touch your nose with one finger. Try different fingers.
4. Stand near a wall. Touch it with a finger, then move your hand away. Close your eyes and try to touch the same spot again. Try with different fingers.
5. Copy the dance on a “just dance” video.
6. Type on a laptop without looking at the keys. Try it with your eyes closed.
7. Kneel, then move one foot in front of the other knee. Try it with your hands behind your head.
8. Get on your hands and knees. Move your left arm straight in front and your right leg straight back. Then swap sides.
