My body awareness activity

[bec2012]

For my next observation my assessor wants to "observe you with the children at an activity that helps them learn to protect themselves and learn about personal safety and safety of others also body awareness"

So what I'm thinking is a picture of a body on a big bit of paper and smaller bits with things we use to look after ourselves.



We can stick those on with arrows to the parts of the body we use them on and talk about how we look after them, I thought I could put a picture of a bike and children walking as looking after our hearts and use these to talk about safety; crossing the road, stranger danger etc. and a stop sign to say if people do things we don't like we tell them to stop I was thinking I could say that my brother tickles my feet and I don't like it so tell him to stop as an example.

What do you think? Will it cover?

That and more, this is excellent fab cross selection of images.

The head, shoulder, knees and toes song would compliment really well - along with some made up lyrics .. left hip connected to the ... right nose. Nail tip touching a ... moving joint .. left hand holding an elbow bend ... have fun if you do improptu ones of those lol.

Brilliant, very best wishes with it and many congratulations it's great xx

I think it's fantastic too - well done Bec.

Give yourself a great big pat on the back and feel really chuffed with yourself... and then treat yourself to some chocolate etc

when we done this activity i was under the impression it was to cover what children can do to protect themselves from inappropriate touching etc :S but that is a really good idea, i would have never thought of something so creative!
