My Body Parts

Kindergarten · Science · Study Guide

Learn about the parts of your body and what each part helps you do.

Your body is amazing! It has many parts that all work together to help you move, think, feel, and stay healthy.

Your head is at the top of your body. Your brain is inside your head and it helps you think, learn, and feel. Your eyes help you see the world around you. Your ears let you hear sounds. Your nose lets you smell, and your mouth lets you eat, drink, and talk.

Your arms are on the sides of your body. At the end of each arm are your hands, and at the end of each hand are your fingers. You use your arms and hands to reach, carry, draw, and hug!

Your legs help you walk, run, jump, and kick. At the bottom of each leg is a foot with five toes. Your toes help you balance.

Inside your body are important organs. Your heart pumps blood all through your body. Your lungs help you breathe. Your stomach helps digest the food you eat.

Taking care of your body means eating healthy food, getting enough sleep, washing your hands, and exercising every day.
