Draw on your own

One thing our students learn first of all, including colors and numbers, are the body parts. Also, we can adapt this activity to our oldest children if we are working with them the prepositions, with this exercise we develop the listening skill.

With this activity, you can check if your children have already learned it. We could see if they have developed their lateralization including terms like right and left. Although the most important thing we improve with this exercise is the imagination of the children, this is a powerful weapon they must develop.

To carry out this activity, we only need a sheet of paper with a "body" drawn on it and a pencil. If we want to decorate and hang it we use color paints.

We can use the body of Mr. Potato Head, it will be the base we work on.

Each child has a paper with this drawing, you can download it by clicking on the image:

The teacher is in charge of giving instructions. Of course, we can adapt this activity to the level our students have, as I aforementioned.

As the main concept we want to work on are the body parts, the instructions given could be like these: 

- Draw two arms on the right side. One of them has three fingers, the other has two.

- Draw two arms on the right side. One of them has three fingers, the other has two.

- Draw one eye on the first arm.

- In the body, draw three eyes.

- Draw four legs under the body. One of them has two feet.

- Draw three ears on each side of the body.

- In the body, draw three mouths.

- Draw five hairs next to an ear, wherever you want.

- In the body, draw two noses.

- Etc.

These are examples, we can use these and add more or create new ones !!

I have already said we can adopt this activity according to the concepts we work at the moment. We can include clothing, for example.

Here there are some examples of this activity, they have been drawn by children: 

                   

As you can see, if the child is too young we can point right and left sides.
