We currently have this lesson plan on Senses and the body in New Zealand on our waitlist to be built. Join our waitlist for this Erikson plan (link in navigation).
Understanding the senses and the body is important in preschool education as it helps children develop their physical and cognitive abilities, as well as their emotional and social skills. By learning about their senses and how their body works, children can better understand themselves and the world around them.
Preschool learning environments that could be created to teach about the senses and the body could include sensory tables with different materials for children to explore, gross motor activities such as obstacle courses and yoga, and fine motor activities such as drawing and manipulating small objects. The environment should also be safe and accessible for all children, including those with disabilities.
Potential preschool lesson plan ideas could include exploring the five senses through different activities such as taste testing, smelling different scents, and feeling different textures. Children could also learn about their body parts and how they work through songs, games, and hands-on activities such as building a model of the human body. Additionally, lessons could focus on healthy habits such as exercise, nutrition, and hygiene
