Parts of the body

Start with something students can look at or think about: a photo, a short video, a jar on the windowsill, or a question like "what do you already know about body parts?" Then let them work through it with your modeling first (do the first item together on the board), then try the rest with a partner, keeping a word bank or anchor chart in view so the vocabulary stays available. When you review, ask students how they knew, and let them point to the part of the diagram or reading that told them. These body parts worksheets work well as a lead in before an investigation, as a way to capture what students noticed afterward, or as review before an assessment.

These body parts worksheets for Kindergarten give students a clear, visual way to work through one of the big ideas in our bodies. Students label diagrams, sort and classify examples, read short explanations, and answer questions that ask them to say why, not just what. Each page keeps the science vocabulary front and center so students leave with the words they need to talk about body parts accurately. Working through body parts on paper gives Kindergarten students something concrete to hold onto before, during, or after the hands on part of a lesson.

Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten our bodies, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with body parts. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Body parts worksheets teach kindergartners to name and locate the major external parts of the body, including head, shoulders, arms, legs, hands, and feet. Some worksheets also introduce internal organs like the heart and brain at a simple, age-appropriate level.

Body parts are typically introduced early in the school year in kindergarten science or health. The topic connects naturally to physical education, hygiene lessons, and the five senses unit.

Pair these worksheets with simple activities like tracing your child's body on large paper and labeling the parts together. Singing classic songs like 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' alongside the worksheets makes learning memorable and fun.

1 printable worksheet, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for Kindergarten students, roughly ages 3-6. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Each one shows the NGSS code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
