Ramadan Sensory Story Told Through the Eight Senses Multiple Disabilities

Ramadan – A Sensory Story invites Neurodiverse, PMLD, Sensory and SEND learners to engage in a rich, multisensory journey through Ramadan. Each activity promotes connection and personal agency, inviting learners to explore at their own pace while fostering communication and confidence.
 
With adaptable steps and a focus on sensory experiences, this resource supports inclusive, engagement, inviting sensory learners to explore Ramadan through the eight senses: the five primary senses -sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell, and three body-based/internal senses – vestibular, proprioception, and interoception. It weaves together tactile props, sounds, scents, tastes, and movement with poetic language and gentle facilitator guidance.
 
From symbolically sighting the crescent moon and stars, touching prayer beads, exploring dates and spices to enjoying sensory-rich activities including a sensory umbrella, silhouette play and sensory artwork, this Ramadan sensory story is rich with hands-on invitations.
 
Rooted in a commitment to accessibility, engagement, meaningful communication, and sensory inclusion, each couplet offers a sensory prompt guiding the story participant through a journey where every sense is welcome.
 
This teaching pack includes:
• Ramadan sensory story poem
• Prop/resources checklist with facilitation guidance
• Sensory-rich activities focusing on engaging the eight senses:

Hi, thank you for clicking onto my bio. My name is Victoria Navin, I am the Founder of Rhyming Multisensory Stories.

I am a passionate advocate for providing sensory-rich learning experiences for Neurodiverse, PMLD, Sensory and SEND Learners through my fully resourced, facilitated sensory stories and sensory-rich thematic classroom activities.

My first book published by Routledge in Oct 2025 'Sensory Spaces: An A-Z of Immersive and Creative Environments to Support Sensory Integration' is a practical guide to creating customisable environments that spark curiosity, creativity, and storytelling. Using everyday items, it shows how to design spaces for learning, sensory engagement, and relaxation.
