    1 - Getting Started ~5 mins

    Illustration for Getting StartedLet's wiggle! Can you wiggle your fingers? Now can you stamp your feet? Touch your head and give it a little pat. Your body can do so many things! Today we are going to find all the parts of our amazing body and learn their names.

    2 - Look at the Body on Screen ~10 mins

    Illustration for Look at the Body on ScreenLook at the picture of the child on our screen. Let's find each part together! Where is the head? Point to it on your own body. Now the shoulders, the arms, the hands, the legs and the feet. Every part of you has a name, and every part helps you do something special.

    3 - Head, Shoulders Body Game ~9 mins

    Illustration for Head, Shoulders Body GameNow it is time to play! Let's sing and touch each part as we say its name. Head, shoulders, arms, hands, legs and feet! Faster and faster! Can you keep up? When the teacher calls out a body part, touch it as quick as you can. At the end we will all be soft and still, like sleepy teddies, and take three slow breaths.

    4 - What Does Each Part Do? ~6 mins

    Let's think together. What do your hands do? They hold and clap! What do your legs do? They walk and jump! What does your head do? It helps you think and see! Who can show us one thing they can do with their hands? Who can show us one thing they can do with their feet?

    5 - Draw Me and My Body Parts ~8 mins

    Illustration for Draw Me and My Body PartsNow let's draw a picture of YOU! Draw your head, your arms, your hands, your legs and your feet. Colour them in nicely. Can you make your picture look just like you?
