Week & Period: Week 13, Period 3
Topic: Getting to Know Your Body
Sub-topic: Major parts of the body and private parts
Learning Objectives
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to identify major parts of the body (head, arms, legs, chest, stomach, back), recognize male and female private parts, and understand that private parts are special and should be respected.
Previous Knowledge
Students already know basic body parts such as hands, feet, eyes, and ears.
Instructional Materials
Body charts, pictures of human body (age-appropriate), markers, observation sheets
Lesson Development – ABC Model
A – Anticipation (Warm-up / Starter)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Teacher asks students to touch and name parts of their own body in class. Students discuss which parts they use for different activities like walking, eating, and writing.
B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)
Time: 25–30 minutes
Learners’ Activities (Expanded):
• Teacher shows a large chart or model of the human body, pointing out major parts: head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, arms, hands, fingers, chest, stomach, back, legs, and feet. Students repeat each name aloud and describe simple functions (e.g., “Hands help us hold things,” “Legs help us walk”).
• Teacher explains male and female private parts in simple, age-appropriate terms, emphasizing that these parts are special and should not be touched by anyone else except in safe situations (like a parent or doctor).
• Students participate in a “Body Parts Bingo” or labeling activity on worksheets or a classroom chart to reinforce naming and identifying body parts.
• Teacher facilitates guided discussion with questions like: “Which parts are private?” “Why should we respect these parts?” “What can we do to keep our private parts safe?” Students provide examples such as wearing appropriate clothing and not allowing others to touch them in private areas.
• Role-play activity: in pairs, students practice saying “No” politely if someone tries to touch private parts and identify a trusted adult to report to.
Assessment Checks:
• Teacher asks students to name at least five major body parts and identify private parts correctly.
• Students explain why private parts should be respected in their own words.
• Teacher observes participation during role-plays and class discussions, checking for understanding of safe boundaries and respectful behavior.
• Optional quick quiz: students match body parts with their functions or categorize private vs non-private parts on a worksheet.
Notes (Expanded & Detailed):
• Private parts are parts of the body that are normally covered by clothing and are special for every person, regardless of gender.
• Emphasize that all people’s bodies deserve respect and that respecting personal boundaries helps keep everyone safe.
• Use simple, clear language and visual aids to reinforce learning.
• Encourage students to share practical examples from daily life: e.g., “I keep my private parts covered when changing clothes,” or “I tell a parent if someone touches me in a private area.”
• Reinforce that the concept of private parts is about safety and respect, not shame or embarrassment.
C – Consolidation (Conclusion & Assessment)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Summary: Students review major body parts and discuss why private parts are special. Teacher reinforces respect and personal safety.
Evaluation Method (Expanded)
Exit slip/quiz: Students name three major body parts and explain one rule about private parts. Teacher collects slips and provides oral feedback.
Assignment (Expanded)
Students draw a simple body outline and label major parts. They write one way to respect private parts.
Follow-up Activity: In Week 14, students will learn about differences between male and female and basic reproduction concepts.
Differentiation / Inclusive Strategies: Use diagrams and visual aids for students with difficulty remembering body parts. Allow peer discussion for reinforcement.
