Today, we’re going to talk about something very special – our bodies! Each of us has a body that is unique and wonderful in its own way. It’s the only one we’ve got, so it’s really important to take good care of it.
Our bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and some of us might have different abilities or different ways our bodies look and work. The most important thing is knowing that your body is special. Sometimes, we might need help taking care of our bodies, especially parts we can’t easily reach or see. It’s okay to need help, whether it’s with washing, putting on medicine if you are sick or sore or when we visit the doctor. But remember, this help should always make you feel safe and comfortable. If you’re feel uncomfortable it’s really important to talk about it with someone you trust.
Cynthie’s Video Introduction:
Here’s a fun activity: Let’s think about all the different parts of our body. Some of us have hair, eyes, a nose, a mouth, maybe arms or legs or hands or feet. And all of us have parts of our body that are private. Do you know where the private parts of your body are? These are the parts of your body covered by underpants or a swimsuit.
Your body is your own, and it’s meant to be treated with kindness and care. No one has the right to hurt you in any way—no hitting, no kicking, no causing pain. If someone does something that hurts you or makes you feel uncomfortable, it’s very important to tell a trusted adult. You deserve to feel safe and loved all the time. (We will talk about trusted adults in Song 4).

LETS SING THE MY BODY IS MY BODY SONG (Play the video)
Chorus

It’s my body, My body

And nobody has a right to hurt me
‘
Cos my body is my body for me

It’s my body, My body

And nobody has a right to touch me

‘Cos my body is my body for me
Verse

I’ve got two hands to feel

And two eyes to see

And two ears to hear what you’re telling me

I’ve got two strong legs to take me where I go

And I’ve also got some private parts

That I don’t want to show


Chorus

It’s my body, My body

And nobody has a right to hurt me
‘
Cos my body is my body for me

It’s my body, My body

And nobody has a right to touch me

‘Cos my body is my body for me
Verse
I’ve got hair on my head

I want you to see

And a little belly button

In the middle of me

I’ve got a cute little nose

And ten little toes

And I‘ve got a mouth to tell you

What I want you to know
Chorus

It’s my body, My body

And nobody has a right to hurt me
‘
Cos my body is my body for me

It’s my body, My body

And nobody has a right to touch me

‘Cos my body is my body for me
Yes my body is my body for me
