From our teachers' playbook

Head, shoulders, knees and learning!

What do kindergartners learn about the human body?

Kindergartners learn to name the parts of their bodies, from head to toes, and what each part helps them do: eyes see, ears hear, legs run. They explore the five senses and learn that the heart pumps blood and the lungs breathe air. Healthy habits are a big part too: washing hands, brushing teeth twice a day, eating good food and getting sleep. The click is when kids point to a body part and tell you its job, like "My nose smells cookies!"

Our favorite ways to teach the human body

Kids carry the best science model everywhere they go: themselves!

Sing and point

Play the parts of the body song and have kids point to each part as it's named. Speed up the second time for giggles. Moving while singing helps new words stick fast.

Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Match the part

Kids match body part pictures to their names and jobs. Then they trace a partner's outline on butcher paper and label the parts they know. Big hands-on projects make five-year-olds proud.

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.

Body bingo

Call out a body part or its job, like "This helps you hear," and kids cover the picture. Hearing the job instead of the name makes them think twice.

Why it works: playful practice with a clear goal keeps kids practicing longer, and simple learning games have been shown to build real skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).

Questions parents and teachers ask

What should kindergartners know about the human body?

Names of the main body parts, the five senses, a few organs like the heart and lungs, and healthy habits like handwashing and brushing teeth.

How do I teach body parts to a 5-year-old?

Use songs with pointing, games like Simon Says, and tracing their body on paper to label. Movement makes it fun and memorable.

What are the five senses?

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

How can I teach healthy habits at home?

Make routines fun: sing while washing hands for 20 seconds, use a timer for brushing teeth, and let kids help choose healthy snacks.
