Health & BodyDraftWhole groupWeek 1
Objectives
Wildlings explore the basics of how their bodies function — systems, senses, and signals. The question is 'What is my body actually doing all day?'
Materials
body system diagrams, stopwatch, sensory station materials, My Owner's Manual
Activities
A simple anatomy exploration uses diagrams or models to introduce major body systems. Wildlings track their own heart rate before and after movement to observe cause and effect. Sensory stations let Wildlings explore the five senses hands-on. A movement game highlights balance, coordination, and body awareness. The first page of My Owner's Manual is started.
Coach notes
Keep tone curious and matter-of-fact, especially around puberty-adjacent topics if they arise.
