Objective: To introduce preschoolers to vocabulary related to the face and body in a fun and engaging way.
Start off by gathering all the children in a circle. Make sure everyone is comfortable and excited! Smile big and say, “Good morning, everybody!” Encourage the kids to respond with their own big smiles.
Bring in a hand mirror and a few props like funny glasses, hats, or masks. Hold up the mirror and say, “Look at my face! What do you see?” Point to your own eyes, nose, mouth, and ears as you name them. Then, demonstrate how to make silly faces:
Invite the kids to use the mirror one by one to explore their own faces! Encourage them to find different facial features and ask questions like:
This will help them start recognizing and naming their features.
Transition into the body part vocabulary by leading them in a fun “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” song or a simple movement game. This keeps them active and engaged:
Conclude this bright start by saying: “Today, we’re going to learn more about our faces and bodies, all while having a ton of fun! Are you ready to be body explorers?”
Encourage a cheer from the kids to build excitement for the lesson ahead!
With this interactive and engaging introduction, preschoolers will feel energized and ready to learn more about themselves in a playful way!
