Teaching Children Joy: Body Part 3

 

Teaching children Joy:  Body Part 3

Appreciation for the body

Today we learned to appreciate what different body parts can do and what would happen if we didn't have them. It was a very interesting activity.  

Focus on one sense activity 

 Touch

 

 I provided Fluttershy with a bucket of various objects and while she was blindfolded asked her to identify each item.

Hearing

Sense of hearing: What can you here?  We listened to sounds both inside and outside.  We heard an airplane, cars, birds, and a dog bark.

Taste

Tasting her food samples.

Pretend you don't have a certain body part

What do you use to pick of things?  Thumbs

 Tape your thumbs to your hand and try to pick up:

 a penny

small objects

turn a page in a book

The importance of eyes

Try to put a puzzle together with a blind fold on.

Fingers

Cover your fingers with a sock so you can't use your fingers.

Fluttershy started to get frustrated with this one. 

Arms

Stick one arm in a pocket and try to pick up a ball or try to catch a ball.

Knees

While keeping your legs straight, try to walk up stairs.
