Talking Points
- Our body is like a special machine that helps us do everything we want to do. When we eat, our tummy helps digest the food to give us energy. Remember, our tummy is like a hungry monster that needs food to work!
- Our arms help us hug our loved ones and pick up things. They are like our strong helpers that never get tired!
- Our legs are like our super fast runners. They help us walk, run, jump, and dance. Let's thank our legs for taking us on fun adventures!
- Our brain is like a smart computer that helps us think, learn, and remember things. It's like a superhero that never takes a break!
