Body Lab Day: Trace-a-body poster

Rocket unrolls a long sheet of paper.

"Let us make a giant body map!" he says.

Raven asks, "What parts will we add?"

Nova says, "Start with the outline."

  1. The body has many parts.
  2. Each part has a job.
  3. Eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin are senses.
  4. The brain is the boss of the body.
  5. Parts work together like a team.
  6. Bodies need food, water and air.
◇ MAKE A BODY POSTER
Lay a long sheet of paper on the floor.
A grown-up lies down on the paper.
The child traces around the grown-up with a crayon.
Or draw a big body shape freehand.
Add eyes, ears, a nose and a mouth.
Draw a heart and two lungs inside.
Label each part with a grown-up.
Safety first
Use crayons or washable markers.
A grown-up uses scissors if you cut the paper.
Keep crayons out of mouths.
  1. Draw the outline.
  2. Add the outside parts.
  3. Add the inside parts.
  4. Write one job next to each part.
  5. Hang your poster up!
For a grown-up
Ask: which part helps you see?
Ask: what does the heart do?
Praise every label, even messy ones.
