Learning About the Body
- Body outlines in chalk outside. Can you make your body do jumping jacks? Form a letter?
- Shaving cream in the bathtub, paint your body – rinse off afterward.
- Label your body parts with a marker. Take a bath and scrub the areas you labeled – helps increase word association.
- Make hand or foot prints with paint
- Make sand casts of various body parts
- Make a model arm with recycled materials from around your house.
- Find a big mirror and color “parts” with a dry erase marker
- Make and play with paper dolls
- Use butcher paper and trace your body. Cut your body parts off (make a head, torso, leg, etc.) and reattach with paper fasteners. Now you have a body puppet. Variation: Make a smaller marionette out of cardboard instead of using butcher paper and make a smaller one.
- Roll a dice labeled with body parts and race to touch that body part.
- Play musical body games
- Read a book to help you learn more about the body. Here is a great list!
