Watch my hands. What are they doing? What are they helping me do?
What else can our body parts help us do?
Here is our special word for today. Job means what a part of our body helps us do.
Our hands can hold a ball. Our feet can hop on the spot. Our eyes can look across the room. What can your hands help you do?
Look at the child on the board. We will put the labels on together: head, eyes, arms, hands, legs and feet.
Which part helps us hold things? Point to it on your own body first, then help us place the label on the board.
Our body parts and their jobs
Visit the short stations with your group. At each stop, try the action on the card.
You might hold a soft ball, hop on the spot, clap your hands, or look carefully for something red. Which body part is doing the work?
Show us one job you tried. Use your body only. No talking first.
Now tell us which body part did the work.
What job did your hands do today? What job did your feet do? What job did your eyes do?
A county footballer uses feet to kick and eyes to watch the ball — just like our body parts practised their jobs today.
Soft balls and beanbags go back in the tub. Cards in a neat pile.
Well done, body helpers!
