Human Body: Skeleton

You can use this activity for October or if you're studying the human body. 
In my case my Kindergartners, where studying the human body so I decided to do a lot of cooperative learning and hands-on. They also have science notebooks, so I always create a brief and friendly information for their notebooks. Even the parents were learning too.😃

You can find the info here El cuerpo Humano

I found this cute video that explains almost everything 


Now if you're studying the skeleton. You will love these videos. 





After this we start discussing about the skeleton and we identify the parts using interactive games. Just click on it.


Don't forget to even bring real things. Here is an idea from Kids Activities Blog. Just click to access and download it.

I use the last picture. I enlarge each part . I gave each piece to a students. They had to cut it and then try to assemble by group and glue it. Last label the parts.
Here they're cutting the parts. Remember along with teaching basics, often we need to teach students how to cut. 

Love this picture!! Working together.

It was really amazing listen to their conversations. They were analyzing, debating, and evaluating.

The leader of the group.

Almost done!!!

Still trying to figure it out how to assemble the human skeleton.

Time to glue. Remember to teach them how to use glue. Here are some ideas of teaching kids how to use glue

They know how to use glue correctly.  😉

They were singing the Skeleton Dance.

Labeling the parts using color paper.

Don't forget the piece of paper with lines so they write their names.
