I Can Take Care of My Ears

The lesson “I Can Take Care of My Ears” is part one of a 42 part series about parts of the body, health, and safety.

This resource includes a lesson plan for the teacher on how to prepare beforehand, class-time content to facilitate learning about hearing, and hands-on activities facilitate further learning, and a teacher assessment at the end. This lesson is designed for a group of young children between the ages of 3 and 5, and is the first physical development lesson in the Core Curriculum, 3-5 years, Year One.
