Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about visiting the doctor. Don’t worry, checkups are not scary at all. They help us stay healthy and strong!
First, let’s meet the Oscilloscope. It’s a special tool that listens to your heart. Isn’t that cool? It goes “thump-thump” just like a drum!
Next, the doctor uses a tongue depressor. It looks like a popsicle stick! The doctor uses it to check your throat and make sure everything is okay.
Oops! Sometimes candy can get stuck in our teeth. But don’t worry, we can brush our teeth to keep them clean and shiny!
After the checkup, it’s time to eat some yummy food. But be careful, some food can be hot, like corn soup. Always wait for it to cool down before eating.
Now, let’s have fun in the bath! We can splash around and play with water. Remember, blue means cold water and red means hot water. Be careful with hot water because it can be dangerous!
If the water is too hot, turn on the cold water to make it just right. Wash your hands and have fun!
Oh no! Someone needs help! Let’s join the medical rescue team. We can be little doctors and nurses!
First, we check the heartbeat to make sure everything is okay. Then, we use a bandage to help our friends feel better. Yay, we did it!
After all the fun, it’s time to play with our dolls and toys. We can also help clean up to make everything nice and tidy.
Great job, everyone! We learned so much today about staying healthy and helping others. Let’s keep having fun and learning new things!
Heartbeat Listening Adventure: Create a simple stethoscope using a cardboard tube or a paper towel roll. Encourage the children to listen to each other’s heartbeats by placing the tube on their chest. Ask them to describe what they hear. Does it sound like a drum? Can they count the beats? This activity helps them understand how doctors use tools to listen to our hearts.
Healthy Teeth Experiment: Provide each child with a hard-boiled egg and a cup of soda. Explain that the egg represents their teeth. Let the egg sit in the soda for a few hours or overnight. The next day, observe what happened to the egg. Discuss how brushing teeth helps keep them clean and why it’s important to avoid too much candy.
Temperature Detective: Use two bowls of water, one with warm water and one with cold water. Let the children feel the difference by dipping their fingers in each bowl. Ask them to identify which is warm and which is cold. Discuss why it’s important to be careful with hot water, especially during bath time.
