dry bones

You will need to obtain the song "Dry Bones" and a large cut-out skeleton (the life-size one people put on their doors). Carefully cut up the skeleton to make a puzzle out of it.

Play the song and dance with your child, making sure to point to the parts of the body referenced by the song. Your child may want to play the song many times.

Take turns with your child piecing the skeleton together. Discuss the bones as you piece them together. Talk about how to keep them strong and healthy. Share any "broken bone" stories you might have.
