This Grade 5 worksheet on “Imagery Sentences” helps students understand how to use sensory-rich language to paint vivid pictures in the reader’s mind. Through activities like identifying imagery, sensory-based multiple-choice questions, rewriting sentences with adjectives and details, creative blanks, and descriptive paragraph writing, learners strengthen their ability to write expressively and imaginatively.
Imagery allows young writers to bring scenes to life using the five senses. For Grade 5 learners, this topic is important because:
1. It helps them create vivid and engaging descriptions.
2. It encourages the use of strong adjectives and sensory words.
3. It improves creative writing and helps ideas flow more naturally.
4. It strengthens vocabulary and expressive sentence structure.
This worksheet includes five sensory-focused exercises that help students write with colour, sound, taste, touch, and smell:
🧠 Exercise 1 – Underline the Imagery Part of Each Sentence
Students recognise which words create vivid, sensory images.
✏️ Exercise 2 – Multiple Choice on Sensory Detail

📋 Exercise 3 – Rewrite Sentences Using Adjectives & Details
Students add vivid words, descriptive details, or sensory elements to make sentences more expressive.
📝 Exercise 4 – Fill in the Blanks (Sensory Passage)
A garden-themed passage encourages learners to complete sentences using sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch.
🧾 Exercise 5 – Paragraph Writing
Students apply imagery by describing a place they find beautiful using sensory-rich sentences.
