MY BODY

Starter: What do we know about our bodies: on the outside? on the inside? While there’s lots happening on the outside that you can see, such as scratching an itch, eating lunch and running around, there’s even more happening inside. More than what we see when we look in the mirror. There are different parts that have different jobs, but each part works together so we can eat, sleep, sit in class and play with friends. Our body is a pretty amazing thing! Let's find out more!

Watch this clip for kids about how bodies work
Play Simon Says: Parent goes first. Then give the kids a turn to lead.
Anatomy for Kids 1 - PLAYDOUGH BODY MAP Get a large piece of paper (or stick a few together). Your kid can lie down on top of the paper while you trace around their body to draw a life-size body map. Switch around and they can do it for you too. Print these anatomy cards and then whip out the playdough/plasticine for kids to sculpt the organs on top of the cards. Use this apron as a guide for shape and placement - then plot the playdough organ on the body map. You can mention bones and muscles if you want. You can also use the cards as part of a game, either before or after.
Anatomy for Kids 2 - WEARABLE HUMAN BODY: Gather brown paper grocery bags, pasta, plastic bags, yarn, straws, and other things, including lungs that really inflate when you blow them up through the straw! See how to build it with more helpful pictures.
Mr/s Potato Head: Grab a real potato and build Mr/s Potato using craft items or other food items (with minimal wastage but an opportunity to see food in a new light). Here is an example with craft and here is an example with other food items.
