Learn About the Human Body
August 2nd 2010 11:27
Learning about the human body involves knowledge that children can use for the rest of their life. Help them become literate regarding the systems of the body through playing games. There is a lot of information to absorb; facts about the circulatory system, endocrine system, digestive system, bones and organs offer lots of game playing possibilities.
Use riddles to teach the children facts about the human body. Choose an organ and list the different attributes. Use these to form riddles about body parts. For example, ask the class, " I transport nutrients throughout the body. I am located in the middle of your body to the left. I am about the size of your fist. Who am I?" The answer is the heart. Ask just one fact at a time to see how quickly they can catch on. Include realistic images of the body parts. Cover the majority of the image with a sheet of paper. Slowly slide the paper down as you ask the questions.
Consider letting children create their own riddles and quiz each other. Be sure to check their facts ahead of time to be sure they are accurate.
