The Human Body for Kids – Trunk, Upper, and Lower Limbs

Hey there! Let’s learn about the amazing human body. Our body is made up of different parts that help us do all sorts of fun things like playing, running, and hugging. It’s important to take care of our body by eating healthy foods and exercising. Today, we’re going to talk about some of the main parts of our body.

The Trunk

The trunk is the middle part of your body. It includes your chest, back, tummy (also called the abdomen), and shoulders. Your neck is like a bridge that connects your head to your trunk. When you breathe in through your nose, your chest moves up and down. Your tummy is right below your chest, and that’s where your belly button is! Your back is behind your chest and tummy, helping you stand up straight.

Upper Limbs

Now, let’s talk about your arms, which are called upper limbs. Your shoulder is a special joint that connects your arm to your trunk. Joints are like hinges that help you move. Your arm has many parts: the elbow, wrist, hand, fingers, and nails.

Your elbow is a joint that lets you bend your arm. Your wrist connects your hand to your arm. On your hand, you have a palm and five fingers. Each finger has a name: thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky. At the tips of your fingers, you have nails, which are the hard parts that protect your fingers.

Lower Limbs

Now, let’s move on to your legs, which are called lower limbs. Your legs are connected to your trunk by your hips. Your leg has a knee, ankle, foot, and toes.

Your knee is a joint that lets you bend your leg. Your ankle connects your leg to your foot. Your feet are super important because they hold up your whole body and help you walk. Just like your fingers, you have five toes on each foot. Toes help you keep your balance so you don’t fall over when you walk or run.

And there you have it! Those are some of the main parts of your body. Keep learning and exploring to find out more about how your body works!

  • Can you think of a time when you used your arms or legs to do something fun or exciting? What did you do, and how did your body help you?
  • Why do you think it’s important to take care of our body by eating healthy foods and exercising? Can you share some ways you like to stay active?
  • Have you ever noticed how your chest moves when you breathe? Try taking a deep breath and see what happens. What do you feel?
  1. Body Part Match-Up: Create a fun game where you draw or print out pictures of different body parts mentioned in the lesson, such as the chest, elbow, knee, and ankle. Mix them up and ask the children to match each picture with the correct name. This activity will help reinforce their understanding of where each body part is located and its function.

  2. Movement Exploration: Encourage the children to explore how different body parts move. Ask them to try bending their elbows, wiggling their fingers, or standing on their toes. Discuss how each movement feels and which parts of the body are involved. This hands-on activity will help them understand the role of joints and how they help us move.

  3. Body Part Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the classroom or playground. Ask them to observe and identify how people use their body parts in different activities, like writing, throwing a ball, or jumping. Encourage them to share their observations and discuss how each body part helps in performing these actions.

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

The human body is made up of different parts: the head, the trunk, and the upper and lower limbs. It is important to care for the human body by eating well and exercising to stay healthy. Today, we’ll talk about the parts of the body.

The trunk is the central part of your body, where you can find your chest, back, abdomen, and shoulders. Your neck connects the head and the trunk. Your chest is the part of your trunk that expands when you breathe through your nose. Your abdomen is located under your chest, and in your abdomen, you can find your belly button. Your back is situated behind your chest and abdomen.

**Upper Limbs**

Your shoulder is a joint that connects your trunk to your arm. Joints allow you to move the parts of your body. Your upper limbs are your arms. Your arm is connected to the trunk by your shoulder. You can find your elbow, wrist, hand, fingers, and nails on your arm.

[Music]

Your elbow is a joint that allows you to bend your arm. Your wrist is a joint that connects your hand and arm. On your hand, you have the palm and your fingers, which provide our sense of touch that is also present all over our skin. You have five fingers on your hand: your thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky. Your nails are the hard parts found at your fingertips.

[Music]

**Lower Limbs**

Lower limbs refer to your legs. Your legs are connected to the trunk by your hips. On your leg, you can find your knee, ankle, feet, and toes. Your knee is a joint that allows you to bend your legs. Your ankle is a joint that connects your leg to your foot. Your feet support your entire body, enabling you to walk. We have five toes, just like the fingers on our hands. Toes help us maintain our balance when we walk.
