How to Do It
|
- First give your child a chocolate and ask him/her to note the part of the tongue the taste was found out.
- This should be followed by tasting lemon juice, salted biscuits and bitter gourd juice and feeling of the taste in different parts of the tongue.
- This knowledge can be strengthened by playing the "Taste game" where a child could tell the part of the tongue he/she felt the taste and the other or others could guess the taste.

Different parts of the tongue are useful for finding different tastes.
