This robot sensory activity is a musical massage story that explores the world of robots through music and positive touch. Through six themed sections, learners experience what it might feel like to be a robot by powering on, feeling cogs turning, extending and retracting mechanical arms, activating a cooling system and more.
This session focuses on firm, steady touch to support body awareness and regulation, alongside lighter touch experiences and temperature contrast to create a clear, fun and engaging sensory experience.
This resource includes a ready-to-use PowerPoint or video with music and images, available for download via the Sensory Soup OneDrive or Dropbox or for viewing on the Sensory Soup channel.
This robot sensory activity would complement learning themes such as robots, people who help, electricity, technology, and how things work.
If you are exploring robot themes more widely, you may also enjoy the Sensory Soup “I See a Robot” sensory story.
