I’m an Elementary Physical Education Teacher and what I do with my Kindergarten kids to teach them about their body revolves mainly through songs and movement. I find that children generally absorb more information quicker through songs, music, and dance. Also, learning being fun doesn’t hurt either!

Here is a good website that you should check out:

http://www.everythingpreschool.com/themes/bodyparts/songs.htm

Its has everything from the Hokey Pokey, Ten Little Fingers, Me Complete, Head and Shoulders, Whats on a Face? and many more.

Hope this helps,

There are many children’s books available for such a purpose, so start by taking the little guy to the library and read him one of the stories.

After that start making it a game by pointing to your head and asking him what it’s called. Then have him point to a body part and you try to “guess” its name. By 5 your brother should be able to name his head,eyes, ears, mouth,chin, elbows, hips, waist, cheeks,fingers, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, chest, tummy, knees, legs, feet, toes.

Get a doll ~ point to the doll and point to his part(s) and say the word. Then have him name the parts on the doll, the parts on himself. It is gonna take longer than THURSDAY ~ you should have been teaching him …..nose, mouth, ear, eye, toe, etc. when he was turning 1. You’ve gotta catch up for 4 years !!!

try association,for elbows,macarroni and cheese.for knees,praying or falling.hips,dancing,etc.try to make it one word ,fun and easy for him to remember, then point at the body part in question and say the word or phrase you both pick out.if you decide to use the macarroni and cheese show him why by let him see the uncooked pasta,falling for knees,recreate falling on your knees,etc…im sure he will crack up laughing and you always remember funny things,dont you? have a great time,blessings to you both!!!
