Preparation

The teacher prepares didactic games on the tables.

Implementation

The teacher gathers the children and starts a conversation about the body, its parts, and what each part can do.

They ask questions such as: What can your head do? Your hands? Your feet?

The teacher encourages movement and participation through songs like Head and Shoulders or the rhyme Open Them, Shut Them.

After the introduction, children explore movement through playful materials:

Memory cards with body parts
Doll (3D)
Flat wooden puppet (2D)

While playing, the teacher asks guiding questions:

What can the 3D puppet do that the 2D puppet cannot?
Can you move like the puppet? What feels similar or different?

Children are invited to imitate the movements and observe how their own bodies can move in space.

Reflection

At the end, the group gathers to reflect together.

The teacher asks open-ended questions to support self-expression:

Did you enjoy these activities? Why?
What did you like the most?
What did you discover about your body?

Children are encouraged to share their experiences and what they learned about movement and body awareness.

Variations and Additional Ideas

The activity can be expanded with the game Ice Statues, where children freeze in different body positions.

You can also open a group discussion to further explore how the human body moves and what it can do.

These variations enrich the activity by encouraging creativity, communication, and critical thinking.
