Motivate students to learn body parts by using a digital camera to take pictures of students.
Objectives
Students will locate and label body parts.
Procedure
Ahead of time, take a picture of each student standing with their feet apart and their hands by their sides. Print the pictures.
Have the students cut out their pictures by cutting along the outer edges
of their bodies (It should like something like a paper doll).
Next have them glue their picture onto a piece of paper by placing a dab of
glue only at the top of the head (this will allow the rest of the body
to be lifted up).
Then students can cut out and glue various body parts in the appropriate places under the picture as if they are part of their body.
Finally, students can label both the internal and external body parts.
