Nature Girl Land
One of our body geography lessons is to do tracings of yourself and then itemize your parts and identify them. This was a tough job for Nature Girl. She avoided getting down to it by making an elaborate game of Nature Girl Land and all those crosses? Those are airplanes. She flitted from part to part. Finally I said " start by identifying your left and right side." (and while it looks reversed - she was right - she was identifying HER parts as we traced them onto the paper.
It took two days of gently prodding for her to label things. We'll return to this one in a couple of months time and I think we'll do it in a less permanent medium - sidewalk chalk!
The rationale behind this exercise is like playing simon says - it helps you identify any issues with left and right, and you also get a clear idea of how in touch they are with their body.
