You get major bang for your learning buck when you incorporate games and movement, thanks to Toddler Brain for contributing some games that you can use to help your preschooler think and learn about their bodies. Here are three great games!…

Musical Body Parts
Here is a fun version of musical chairs that is great for movement and learning body parts. Make sure each child has a defined “spot” (carpet square, scarf spread out; I used placemats).

You might say, “crawl” and everybody crawls around the room. When the music stops each child will begin to return to their spot. As they reach their spot you will yell out a body part, for example, “elbow”, and the children will touch their elbow to their spot. Begin the music again with a new movement and a new body part to stop with. A little chaotic but very fun
