Body Parts

This week for Large Group, we learned about the names for different parts of our bodies.  We worked on identifying body parts by showing that body part when Teacher Heidi named it.  So, if she said show me your head, we touched our head.  We talked about how our bodies can bend.  We named different body parts that could bend and we moved them.  We also sang the song Hinges and bent different body parts as we sang it.

To work on naming body parts, we played Hokey Pokey.  We each got to take a turn naming a part of our body that we were going to sing about while we did the Hokey Pokey.  Some of the body parts that we sang about were our backs, our bellies, our shoulders, our elbows, our legs, our feet, our hands, our fingers, our heads, our hips, our toes etc...

We also sang Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.  We sang it fast and slow, loud and soft.

You can work on identifying and naming body parts at home by playing Hokey Pokey and singing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes too.
