Looking at their bodies

Start by showing child what various parts of his body do, in order for him to understand that while movements are related to legs, arms, and joints, the senses are related to eyes, ears, finger tips, noses and tongues. Encourage him to join in, by playing a game such as ‘Simon says’. This will help him to realize which part of his body he is using to copy your movements.

Parts which make you move – legs and arms
Walk slowly backwards and forwards, run on the spot, wave and clap.

Other parts which make you bend and move - knee, elbow, spine
Kneel down, pretend to shake hands with someone and curl up in a ball.

The part which makes you see
Wink with one eye and blink with two.

The part which makes you hear
Pretend to be ‘cupping’ your ear in order to hear.

The part with which you can touch
Tap the table lightly with finger tips, pretend to stroke a cat’s fur, and pretend to be walking in sticky mud.

The part with which you can smell
Pretend to be smelling rose; hold your nose as you pretend to smell an unpleasant smell.
