Going to the Doctor: A Fun Adventure!

Hi friends! Today, we’re going on a fun trip to the doctor’s office for a checkup. Have you ever been to the doctor? It’s a place where friendly helpers make sure you’re healthy and growing strong!

Welcome to the Doctor’s Office

When you visit the doctor, your grown-up will be with you the whole time. You can even bring a special stuffed animal or toy with you. Let’s bring a bunny friend along!

When you arrive, you might see a waiting room with fish tanks, toys, and books. It’s a fun place to explore while you wait. Look, there’s a lightboard with lots of colors! I found my favorite color, pink!

What Does a Doctor Do?

A doctor is a special helper who checks your eyes, ears, tummy, and listens to your heart. They make sure every part of you is healthy. It’s exciting to be at the doctor!

Time for a Checkup!

When it’s your turn, you might take off your shoes and step on a scale. Then, you wait for the doctor. While you wait, you can play with your toy. Let’s pretend our bunny is sleeping. Wake up, little bunny! Hop, hop, hop!

Here comes the doctor! They might use a stethoscope to listen to your heart and an otoscope to check your ears. It’s like a little adventure for your stuffed animal too!

Let’s Pretend!

At home, you can pretend to be the doctor! Knock, knock! “Hello, I’m Dr. Rachel! What’s your name?” You can check your grown-up or a stuffed animal’s eyes, ears, and heart. It’s fun to play doctor!

Staying Healthy

To stay healthy, go outside, run around, eat different foods, and spend time with people you love. Remember, you’re an amazing kid!

Thanks for coming on this adventure with me. Bye-bye, friends! See you again soon!

  • What do you like most about visiting the doctor, and why do you think it’s important to have checkups?
  • If you could bring any toy or stuffed animal to the doctor’s office, which one would you choose and why?
  • Can you think of some fun ways to stay healthy at home? What activities do you enjoy that help you feel strong and happy?
  1. Doctor’s Office Role Play: At home, set up a pretend doctor’s office with your toys and stuffed animals. Use toy medical kits or household items like a spoon as a thermometer and a flashlight as an otoscope. Take turns being the doctor and the patient with your friends or family. Ask questions like, “How does your heart sound?” or “What color is your favorite toy’s eyes?” This helps you understand what a doctor does and practice communication skills.

  2. Healthy Habits Chart: Create a weekly chart with your grown-up to track healthy habits. Include activities like eating fruits and vegetables, playing outside, and getting enough sleep. Each day, draw a smiley face or a sticker next to the activities you did. Discuss with your grown-up why these habits are important for staying healthy, just like the doctor helps us understand.

  3. Observation Walk: Go on a walk with your grown-up and observe things that help us stay healthy. Look for people exercising, healthy foods in a grocery store, or places where people get fresh air. Talk about what you see and how it relates to what you learned about staying healthy. Ask questions like, “Why is it important to play outside?” or “What healthy foods do you like to eat?”

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary repetitions and maintaining a friendly tone:

[Music] Hi friends! Today I’m visiting the doctor for a checkup. Have you ever been to the doctor? Wow, I’m at Manhattan Valley Pediatrics! When you go to the doctor, your grown-up will be there with you the whole time. You can also bring a special stuffed animal or toy with you. Let’s bring this bunny inside with us today!

Hi Molina! Hi Miss Rachel, I’m here for a checkup. Are you here to see Dr. Hoffman? Yes! Great, just have a seat and they’ll call you shortly. Thank you, Molina! You’re welcome!

Wow, this is called a waiting room. Lots of waiting rooms have fish tanks, toys, and books to read. Let’s go explore! Wow, look at this lightboard! I found my favorite color, pink! Let’s put it in the lightboard. Wow, so many colors! Look, a blue car! Beep beep!

What is a doctor? A doctor is a helper who makes sure you’re healthy and growing. They check your eyes, ears, tummy, and listen to your heart. A doctor checks every part of you. I’m so happy to be at the doctor with you today!

Hi, great to see you! Can you come and follow me to room four, please? Yes! Okay, have a seat. Can you please take off your shoes? Sure! Now you’re going to step on the scale.

Thank you so much! Now we wait for the doctor. What can you do while you wait? Maybe play with your toy! I have this little bunny. Let’s pretend she’s sleeping. Wake up, little bunny! Hop little bunny, hop hop hop!

I hear a knock! It’s the doctor! Hi Miss Rachel, hi friends! It’s great to see you today! I brought a stuffed animal with me so you could show the kids how sometimes you do a little checkup on a stuffed animal. That’s a great idea! Can I listen to your bunny’s heart?

Okay! I’m going to put on my stethoscope and listen to her heart. You can do this at home with a pretend doctor’s kit! Her heart is very strong! Wow! I also think we should check her ears. This tool is called an otoscope. I’m going to use it to look in the bunny’s ears. Wow, that ear looks perfect!

Now it’s your turn for a checkup! First, I would like to look in your eyes. This is called an ophthalmoscope. Wow, that’s a big word! Everything looks great! Next, I would like to listen to your heart using my stethoscope. Now I’m going to check your back and lungs.

Taking deep breaths helps me feel relaxed. You can pretend like you’re blowing out birthday candles. Perfect! Now I’d like to use my tongue depressor to look in your mouth. Open up really wide and say “ah.” Perfect! Great job!

Now I’m going to check your reflexes on your knees. Everything’s working perfectly! Great!

Hey friends, let’s show Dr. Hoffman the song we like about gum sticking to our knees!

Now I’m going to check your ears with my otoscope. Some kids like to touch it; see, it doesn’t hurt! Now I’m going to look in your ears. Very good! That was easy! Now I’m going to warm up my hands and check your neck. Everything feels great!

Last but not least, I would like to check your tummy. Can you lay down? Your belly feels nice and soft! Thank you for coming, Miss Rachel! I really enjoyed my checkup, Dr. Hoffman!

Would you like a sticker? Yes! Here you go! Wow, blue, yellow, and my favorite color, pink! Yay! And here’s a balloon with a zebra on it!

Dr. Hoffman, I have a question. How can we stay healthy? The way to stay healthy is to go outside as much as possible, run around, eat a variety of foods, and spend time with people you love.

Thank you so much for having me today!

Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, so she called for the doctor to come quick! The doctor came with his bag and his hat, and he knocked on the door with a rat-tat-tat. He looked at the dolly and shook his head and said, “Miss Polly, put her straight to bed.”

Guess who else is getting a checkup today? I’ll give you some hints: he’s orange, furry, and so silly! Let’s check in and see how his checkup is going.

Oh, here comes the doctor! Hi Herby, how are you today? I’m good! Okay, let’s start with your eyes. Do you know what this is? It’s called an ophthalmoscope.

Your eyes look great! Now let’s check your mouth. Open up and say “ah.” Everything looks fantastic! Now I’d like to look in your ears.

Wow, you have a lot of hair around here! I see your eardrum and the little bones that conduct your hearing. Now let’s listen to your heart.

Your heart is going very fast! Are you nervous? No, I’m excited!

Can I listen to your tummy? Sure! You’re good! Can I give you a sticker? Yes!

Next time, I’ll bring the popsicles!

Hi, I’m Miss Ashley! What letter do you hear at the beginning of the word “doctor”? Yes, the letter D! Great job!

That was a great checkup! Now we’re back home. At home, you can pretend to be the doctor and give a checkup to your grown-up or a stuffed animal.

Let’s pretend we’re the doctor! Knock knock knock! Hello, I’m Dr. Rachel! What’s your name?

First, I’m going to see how much you weigh. Step on my scale!

Now we need to look at your eyes. Let’s get out our otoscope. Wow, your eyes are looking great!

Now we need to look in your ears. Good job!

Next, we need to listen to your heart with a stethoscope.

Great job! You took a deep breath!

We learned so much today about going to the doctor. A doctor is a helper, and you can take a special stuffed animal with you.

Don’t forget that you’re an amazing kid, and I’m so proud of you! Bye-bye friends! We’ll see you again real soon!
