This activity is great for helping kids identify and label parts of the body. It’s also a fun way to develop listening skills, gross motor skills and coordination.
Fun fact!
The "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" song has only been around since the 1950s - but its tune dates back to a traditional folk song from 1883!About the activity
Sing the words to the song slowly and clearly, encouraging children to touch the different parts of their body in time to the words:
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes.
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes.
And eyes and ears and mouth and nose.
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes.
