Learning About the Body

  1. Body outlines in chalk outside.  Can you make your body do jumping jacks?  Form a letter?
  2. Shaving cream in the bathtub, paint your body – rinse off afterward.
  3. Label your body parts with a marker.  Take a bath and scrub the areas you labeled – helps increase word association.
  4. Make hand or foot prints with paint
  5. Make sand casts of various body parts
  6. Make a model arm with recycled materials from around your house.
  7. Find a big mirror and color “parts” with a dry erase marker
  8. Make and play with paper dolls
  9. 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.
  10. Roll a dice labeled with body parts and race to touch that body part.
  11. Play musical body games
  12. Read a book to help you learn more about the body.  Here is a great list!
