All that seemed natural and came right from their heart.Nothing seemed to matter to them:their playtime, and the heat outside—they just wanted to help and do something nice!

Body awareness(身体意识)helps children understand how they can move their bodies and the concept of space and how it relates to their bodies.
There are many fun games and songs that teach children body awareness and encourage them to move their bodies.
湖南省学考成绩查询“Simon Says”is a great example,as long as you allow all children to continue to play instead of removing children who do not follow the directions correctly.Children who do not follow the directions correctly are generally the very ones who need to play the game most.
Remember the game called“Statue”,or maybe you called it“Freeze”?The teacher plays music;and when the music stops,the children“freeze”.To add an element of learning about body parts,add this instruction:“If I call
‘Hands’,everyone should be frozen except for their hands,which should be moving.”Children love this c
hange of the game,and it teaches them to listen and learn body parts.
Another classic song that teaches body awareness is“If You're Happy and You Know It”.Although the standard refrains(副歌)tell you to“clap your hands”and“stomp your feet”，you can try to“wiggle(摆动)your fingers”,“pull your ears”,“shake your head”,etc.
Children enjoy guessing games.Try giving clues(提示)about which body part you are describing.For example,“I am thinking about a body part that I smell with.It is right under my eyes and right over my mouth. What am I thinking about？”To help thinking and language skills,encourage children to make up the clues for a body part.
Children should enter school with a basic understanding of their bodies.Childcare programs can promote this understanding.
