From our teachers' playbook

Head, shoulders, knees and teeth!

What do 1st graders learn about the human body?

First graders learn the names of body parts and what they do: eyes for seeing, ears for hearing, legs for moving. They explore the five senses and how our bodies help us learn about the world. They also learn simple ways to take care of their bodies, like brushing teeth twice a day, washing hands and getting exercise. The click moment comes when a child explains, "My nose smells the cookies, and my tongue tastes them!"

Our favorite ways to make the human body stick

First graders love learning about themselves. These moves turn their own bodies into the lesson.

Sing the body parts

Play the Parts of the Body Song and have kids touch each part as it's named. Speed it up for giggles. Moving while singing helps them learn the words and where they belong.

Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Picture and label

Show a body part card and kids point to that part on themselves, then say what it does. Pictures plus pointing connect vocabulary to real bodies.

Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Put the routine in order

Have kids put the steps of brushing teeth in order, then act them out with a pretend toothbrush. Sequencing a real routine helps them remember healthy habits.

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Questions teachers and parents ask

What do 1st graders learn about the human body?

They learn body part names and jobs, the five senses, and simple healthy habits like brushing teeth, washing hands and staying active.

What are the five senses?

Sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Each sense uses a body part: eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin.

How do I teach the human body to 1st graders?

Use songs, movement and real experiences like taste tests or mystery bags. Connect each body part to what it helps us do.

How can I teach healthy habits at home?

Make routines fun with songs and charts for brushing teeth and washing hands. Talk about how food, sleep and play help bodies grow.
