Build A Bear

This week for Large Group, we talked about body parts.  We named some of the parts of our bodies.  We pointed to our eyes, nose, mouth, ears, legs, arms, hands and feet.  We talked about all the things our bodies can do.  We counted how many fingers and toes we have.  We even learned about our elbows, ankles, knees, shoulders, back, neck, chin and wrists.  We played a game to help our friend Brown Bear find his body parts.  We used some dice to help us decide which body part Brown Bear needed next.

We took turns building Brown Bear.  When we were finished, Brown Bear had all of his parts so he could run, hear, talk, smell, play and dance!

We sang the song Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes and pointed to each as we sang.  We also sang the Bye Bye Song which helped us practice putting two words that start with the "b" sound together.

You can work on body parts at home by asking your child to identify and name their body parts.  You can play a game where you take turns using parts of your bodies to do an action (march with your feet, wave with your arms, clap with your hands).
