Presentación
El Ministerio de Educación presenta, a la sociedad salvadoreña, un nuevo currículo de la
primera infancia, como una expresión de la vital importancia que enen los primeros añosde vida para la formación del ser humano.
El currículo se sustenta en los nuevos conocimientos de la neurociencia, la psicología, la
pedagogía, la sociología y otras ciencias cuyos hallazgos demuestran que las niñas y los
niños inician el desarrollo de sus capacidades y competencias claves para integrarse al
mundo, para desarrollar a plenitud su mente y su cuerpo, desde el período de gestación
y durante los primeros años de su vida. De allí que la educación inicial es fundamental en
el desarrollo de la personalidad que incidirá decisivamente en las subsiguientes fases de
infancia, adolescencia y juventud.
Tiene un enfoque de valores que se sustentan en el respeto a los derechos humanos, elcual posibilita, a los niños y a las niñas, desde su temprana edad, adquirir una formación
que les permita dar respuestas equilibradas y respetuosas a sí mismos, a sus semejantes y
a su medio ambiente; además, los capacita para enfrentar las dicultades que acompañan
los cambios impulsados por la mundialización, las nuevas tecnologías y los fenómenos
vinculados.
Este currículo busca lograr un desarrollo integral pernente, profundo y connuo,
reconociendo que el entorno de la niña y el niño debe construirse de manera que “el
mundo cognivo esté en contacto con el mundo afecvo y relacional”, es decir, cuando se
combinan aspectos relacionales de gran trascendencia, como su relación con la familia,
con otros niños y niñas, con las personas adultas y con la comunidad.
El currículo para la primera infancia es la respuesta a un proceso de movilización social,
generado a parr del desarrollo del Plan Social Educavo “Vamos a la Escuela” 2009-
2014, el cual plantea la necesidad impostergable de dar una respuesta integral y un
nuevo signicado al tema del desarrollo de la primera infancia en El Salvador. Este es
parte fundamental del nuevo proyecto educavo global, la Escuela Inclusiva de Tiempo
Pleno, que junto a otros programas transformarán al sistema educavo tradicional y, en el
mediano y largo plazo, impactarán todos los ámbitos de nuestra sociedad: la producción,
el conocimiento, la realización de la persona humana y la convivencia social armónica.

El diseño del currículo de la primera infancia ha sido un proceso colecvo y de parcipación
intersectorial, que tuvo como referente la Ley Nacional de Protección Integral para
la Niñez y Adolescencia (LEPINA), la Políca Nacional de Educación y Desarrollo de la
Primera Infancia, la Políca Nacional de Educación Inclusiva y el Plan Social Educavo
“Vamos a la Escuela”. En este proceso, es importante reconocer y dar las gracias por los
signicavos aportes dados por el personal asistente técnico pedagógico y docente, los
centros educavos pilotos, y los siguientes organismos no gubernamentales: Fondo de
las Naciones Unidas para la Infancia (UNICEF), Centro de Referencia Lanoamericano
para la Educación Preescolar (CELEP), Save the Children, Plan Internacional, Fundación
Privada Intervida, Visión Mundial, Ayuda en Acción, Gran Ducado de Luxemburgo, Junta
de Andalucía, Asociación Intersectorial para el Desarrollo Económico y el Progreso Social
(CIDEP), Fundación de Apoyo Familiar (FUNDAFAM), instuciones de educación superior,
centros educavos privados, Mesa Técnica Intersectorial para la Educación y el Desarrollo
Integral de la Primera Infancia, Red de Educación Inicial y Parvularia de El Salvador
(REINSAL); y organismos gubernamentales, como el Ministerio de Educación (MINED),
Ministerio de Salud (MINSAL), Instuto Salvadoreño para el Desarrollo Integral de la Niñez
y Adolescencia (lSNA).
La concreción de este proceso es la entrega de un documento curricular actualizado,
integral y fundamentado en la concepción cienca del desarrollo del niño y de la niña
como sujetos de derecho, protagonistas y centro del modelo pedagógico de la Escuela
Inclusiva de Tiempo Pleno, que está desarrollando el Ministerio de Educación. La puesta
en marcha del currículo exige una ecaz y fuerte coordinación e integración de diferentes
instancias y sectores con alcance local y nacional, fortaleciendo el papel protagónico que
el personal docente, la familia y la comunidad enen en lograr signicavos avances en la
educación integral de la primera infancia.
El currículo orientará el desarrollo programáco de la educación inicial, desde la concepción
a los 3 años, y de la educación parvularia, desde los 4 a los 6 años y 11 meses de vida;dene los objevos que buscan ampliar las posibilidades de atención integral y desarrollo
del área biosicomotora, socioafecva y cogniva, a parr del desarrollo de acvidades
lúdicas, en contextos cálidos y garantes de derechos, en los que las niñas y los niños crezcan
y se desarrollen de manera feliz y en el marco de la protección integral. Reconoce que es
la etapa más signicava del ciclo vital, en que se desarrollan las más diversas formas de:
expresión y comunicación, el pensamiento, la imaginación creadora, el razonamiento, la
formación moral y los valores écos, las normas de convivencia, el amor hacia el medio
ambiente, la idendad y autonomía, el disfrute hacia todas las manifestaciones culturales
y, fundamentalmente, se sientan las bases de la personalidad, para la construcción de un
nueva ciudadanía social en paz y con juscia social.

El currículo se implementará a través de dos vías: una instucional y otra familiar
comunitaria, para lo cual el MINED debe atender a los principales actores de este proceso:
las niñas y los niños, las personas adultas signicavas, madres, padres de familia y
otros encargados, y al personal direcvo, docente y asistente educavo de los centros
escolares.
Por primera vez en la historia educava del país, el Ministerio de Educación, orientado
por el programa de gobierno de la República, instucionaliza la Educación Inicial y la
asume como Estado; a la vez, fortalece el enfoque de derechos y desarrollo integral de
la Educación Parvularia, tal como se hace en la Educación Básica, Media o Superior en
nuestra organización educacional.
En ese marco, es relevante destacar el reconocimiento a docentes de educación parvularia
y a diversos agentes comunitarios que, día a día, con dedicación, esmero y amor, aenden
a los más pequeños del sistema educavo y cuya noble labor es de alta signicación social
por el impacto benecioso en la formación de niñas y niños, que se converrán muy
pronto en ciudadanos y ciudadanas con mejores condiciones para gesonar su vida social
y el desarrollo del país.
Asumamos este nuevo reto del Plan Social Educavo “Vamos a la Escuela” 2009-2014,
implementando el currículo con la movación, la creavidad y el entusiasmo que caracteriza
al personal educavo de este nivel -cuyos esfuerzos contribuyen a la construcción de un
nuevo país-, y enriqueciéndolo con sus propios saberes y experiencias.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE
CURRICULUM
1 Marnez Mendoza, Franklin. Primera infancia, bilingüismo y educación infantl. Editorial Trillas, Madrid,
2010.
Recent studies indicate that the best me for a child to learn a foreign language is inthe rst three or four years of life1. Children at this age actually have a strong potenal
to acquire almost an innite number of new informaon, including foreign language.
Children who learn a foreign language at a very early age, have a more acve brain
sphere and later have fewer dicules in school subjects other than English.
The way babies and small children learn to talk proves that they are natural learners,
so preschool years are vital for language learning. Parcularly in the rst three to
four years of life, the foundaons for thinking, language, vision, atudes, aptudes,
and other characteriscs are laid down. Consequently, it would be a waste not to use
a child’s natural ability to learn during his or her most vital years, when learning aforeign language is as easy as learning the rst.
Through play and exploraon, children can learn a language quickly and easily. It is
in preschool when teachers can maximize a child’s willingness and ability to learn by
using sensory smulaon and play combined with language learning. Small children
can learn by listening, seeing, imitang, and praccing, when they are introduced to
rhymes, songs, games, and counng in a foreign language. In this way, learning is
easier if it is done through acve and fun methodologies, using all of the senses.
These are all important reasons for exposing children to early foreign language learningwith an appropriate methodology for their age.
This curriculum suggests topics and acvies for four, ve, and six year-olds in
preschool that can be integrated with the Salvadoran curriculum taught in the Spanish
language.

a. Guidelines for English Teachers
The role of English teachers is to mediate between language knowledge
and children´s learning process in order to acquire communicaon
skills. In this sense, the teacher becomes a companion, a mediator and
a movator of the process who, along with the children, is looking for
areas of interest in which dialogue, exploraon, and discovery may
oer children opportunies to pracce and produce language.
To achieve this, teachers will nd it useful to consider the following
guidelines:
Start by learning about the situaon of children, families and their✦
community, who should also parcipate in planning the educaonalprocess and other acvies to promote the development of boys
and girls.
Plan ahead: The acvies to be developed for the children should✦
take into account the developmental characteriscs, the children´s
environment and the families’ involvement.
Provide boys and girls with constant feedback about the visual✦
and auditory materials used.
Use children’s basic needs from her/his daily rounes to✦
contextualize the English language.Support boys and girls in remembering signicant experiences✦
and movate children to express them in English as much as they
are able to do so.
Monitor constantly children´s language producon with clear,✦
precise and natural modeling.
Do advanced preparaon of the environment and materials to be✦
used in the English class, so the process may proceed with higher
quality.
b. Suggesons for Diverse Learners
Curricular Adaptaons
Curricular adaptaons and the use of inclusive strategies are a
response to diversity among learners. These strategies involve
adjustments or modicaons made in the curriculum in order to meet
the individual learning characteriscs. In this case, the adaptaons
are aimed at:
School-Wide Curricular Adaptaon:✦ These are adaptaons
implemented on the school-wide level to meet special needs.
Generally, these take into account needs for mobility and special
aenon, or in the common spaces like playground, cafeteria,etc. Something that the teacher can do is to label in English the
common spaces, like hallways and oces, in order for children to
visually recognize the vocabulary in English in the space where
they move.
Classroom Curricular Adaptaons:✦ Adjustments have to do with
the planning done by the teachers according to specic needs;
for example, changes in group acvies where the teacher uses
dierent sensory expressions like singing, use of dierent materials
to sense texture and develop the capacity to discriminate odors,
sound smulaon, use of ash cards, etc.
Adaptaons in Communicaon:✦ Use of specic teaching and
learning materials, technical and technological aids, computers,
sign language, etc., when there are communicaon barriers.
Non- Signicant Adaptaons:✦ This refers to the use of instruconal
strategies or minor changes in the curriculum on a classroom
level, in order to take into account learners’ needs. Evaluaons
should be creave, focused on process more than products and
the original level of children’s abilies.

15/78
Signicant Adaptaons:✦ Imply deep changes in objecves,
specic contents and the evaluaon process in order to account
for learning dicules.
c. Methodological Guidelines
The early childhood curriculum is developed with exibility and
relevance taking into consideraon children’s reality, needs,
movaons and interests.
This document presents some methodological guidelines for
each program and ideas or suggesons that teachers may use in
the evaluaon of their curriculum proposal for his/her individual
classroom situaon.
As the curriculum considers the children’s human rights approach,
the development perspecves and how they perceive reality in
a comprehensive manner, there has been an eort to present
suggesons on four cross-cung topics. These help to distribute
themes and strategies in four sequenal me periods, to organize
the methodological sequence of learning situaons and facilitate the
development and evaluaon of the progress of children.
These integrated methodological suggesons, or situaons of learning
and development, meet the objecves and indicators of success of
each program.
By the end of the year, the methodological sequence of planned
learning and development situaons will have worked out the process
to achieve all objecves based on comprehensive development and
will assess whether or not the performance indicators proposed for
the program have been achieved.
The cross-cung themes suggested for Early Childhood Educaon
are:
Who I am, I am like this, I am (body and movement, identy and1.
autonomy, emoons and feelings, values and social interacons,
etc.).
Once upon a me... (The family, members, roles, home,2.
relaonships, etc).
Discover, feel, learn and have fun (at school or community circle).3.Travel around the world (community, country and universe).4.
Each theme may work with dierent integrang methodological
suggesons. The quanty of acvies will depend on the planning
me by the teaching team at each level.
The me assigned to each cross-cung theme also depends on the
planning, and the age of the group, the context and the characteriscs
and interests of girls and boys.
d. Learning Assessment Guidelines
The evaluaon process can be summarized and organized by
answering the following quesons: Why should we evaluate? What to
evaluate, how to evaluate and through what means? Who evaluates?
When to evaluate?
Why should we evaluate?
To understand and assess children’s level of development and✦
learning, as well as the support and adaptaon required to
strengthen the progress and to overcome dicules.
To idenfy strengths and weaknesses of teaching performance✦
and ensure the necessary adjustments are made, according to the
integral development of children.
What to evaluate?
Progress and dicules in boys and girls’ development as✦
expressed in the objecves and performance indicators.

Teacher’s performance and the parcipaon, communicaon and✦
relaonship with the families and communies.
How to evaluate and through what means?
Through connuous observaon and mely recording of✦
observaons.
Talking and listening connuously to children, considering the level✦
of developed communicaon skills.
The organizaon of integrated acvies that allows the assessment✦
of achievement indicators.
Who parcipates in the evaluaon process and how?
In addion to the teacher and support sta (if any), it is important to
involve:
Children, because this promotes their development and✦
comprehensive learning. The children’s parcipaon, however,depends on the success of communicaon skills to express what they
feel and think. It is important to ensure the parcipaon of every
child.
The family, so that they provide informaon about development✦
factors observed in the child.
When should teachers evaluate?
At the beginning of the educaonal process.✦
During and at the end of the adaptaon period.✦
The me of arrival and departure from class.✦
At the end of each period, the teacher should prepare a documentthat integrates all the informaon recorded on each child to assess
developmental achievements.
Assessment techniques and instruments
Checklist: An instrument of observaon with a scale which indicates✦
those performance indicators that are used to evaluate each boy and
girl, with two opons indicang whether the child achieves or does
not achieve something.
Interview: It may be structured, and have quesons that will be asked✦
to the parents or the person responsible for the child, in terms of theachievements made by the child that have been observed at home.
During this process the responsibility for strategies in educaon can
be shared with family or the person responsible for the child.

EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT CURRICULUMPRESCHOOL 4
1. Introducon
This preschool curriculum for four-year olds introduces and describes
a set of fundamental guidelines that guarantee the right to high-quality
educaon that will enable children to achieve bio-psychomotor,
cognive, social-aecve, and emoonal development through their
everyday acvies in the classroom. Family and community support
is also necessary to achieve these goals.
Thus, teachers´ and families’ awareness about child growth
and development will provide the rst tools to be able to selectappropriate teaching material and to interact with children in ways
that will enhance their learning through playing. Strategies aimed
at promong educaon in which children´s rights, gender equity,
diverse learning, inclusiveness and peace culture should be taken into
account by the educaonal community upon organizing acvies.
Other aspects that these guidelines emphasize are organizaon of
space, appropriate use of resources, relevant curricular adaptaons
and situaons through an integrated approach using all children´s
experiences, so that the process is unied and allows for innovave
acons. Workshops, corners, fun projects, open classrooms, among
others are some of the acvies that should be planned through
integrated exercises. However, these guidelines are exible enough
for educators to modify them according to the needs that dierent
environments demand.
The program is designed for areas of experience and development:
Personal and social development
Expression, communicaon and representaon
Relaonship with the environment
2. ObjecvesTeachers and families will support children to be able to:
Idenfy the parts of the body and their parcular movements and✦
expressions through the development of the gross and ne motor
skills in physical and playful acvies.

INTEGRATED METHODOLOGICAL SUGGESTIONSLEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT SITUATIONS
Some dierent globalized methodological proposals for learning and development situaons are included
in this secon; they are distributed in four cross-cung, integrang topics. This sequence may be carried
out with the curriculum for four years; however, this is not the only sequence that can be suggested.
Each teacher adapts the curriculum to the context, the needs and interests of children; teachers can
create other sequences and modify or recreate the strategies and resources proposed.
Each area of experience and development has been assigned an idenfying symbol.
Personal and social development
Expression, communicaon and representaon
Relaonship with the environment
Taking into account the developmental characteriscs of boys and girls, and the objecves, contents and
achievement indicators suggested in this curriculum for this age, the following are proposals for learning
and development situaons, distributed in four integrang themes.
Who I am, I am like this, I am...✦

There are many acvies in which the teacher canwork the body schema, but a puppet is suggested
here to represent the human body. (This could be
made of cardboard, foam board, or other material).
Each part of the puppet’s body should move, and
children should have the freedom to play with the
main body parts (head, trunk, arms, legs), and
then the teacher could invite students to move the
puppets body parts freely.
The teacher can introduce a conversaon to the✦
children and tell them that they have a special
visit from Bob, the puppet dancer. Bob’s visit
to school is to tell them that he has a body so
perfect that he can move as he wants. And that
he will be with them at school all week.
During this week, Bob can play with children,✦
inving them to discover their moving body
parts: head, trunk, arms, legs and exploring
each part together.
Bob or teacher could teach them a song like✦“Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and
toes, knees and feet, head, shoulders, knees
and feet and hands that move well, yes, yes”.
The puppet or the teacher can do it by moving
each part of the body as it is menoned in the
song. Aer the song, children could be invited
to look for objects in the classroom that indicate
some aributes of color, shape, size, etc., aer
that they will give the object to the teacher orput them in a special place. Then the teacher
can invite them to reect: through a queson
like “what did you move?” “What part of the
body was used to take the object?” “How did
you know which was that part?” Etc.
Teachers can invite children to form groups and✦
give them the next project (paper or cardboard).
Children in the group have to agree and decide
which member of the group they will draw with
all parts of the body that they already know.Then they will divide responsibilies for drawing
with crayon, they outline the human gure of
the child lying on the oor and the body parts
in full detail on the drawing. When they nish,
the teacher may put the newsprint on the wall
with the human gures drawn to observe and
talk about the dierent characteriscs which
are reected in each gure. Also they may see
and appreciate the dierences in the bodies of
boys and girls.By the end of the week, Bob could invite children✦
to make their own puppet; the teacher could
provide a picture of a person (divided into parts)
so that they can color. When nished, they could
take it home so with the help of their families
they can build their own puppet by joining the
pieces with materials that allow mobility (yarn,
paper fasteners, etc.).

The idea for this topic is based on meaningfulexperiences for children. The teacher may sit in a
circle, either in the classroom or elsewhere in an
appropriate place for this acvity. Teachers can start
a conversaon by asking what a family is. Where do
families live? , Whom do you live with? , Are all the
families the same? How do you feel in your family?
Teachers should include generang and dialogue
quesons. Aer this brainstorming of ideas, inquire
about what they would like to invesgate or do in
relaon to the family. Depending on the objecvesthat are to be met and the interest of the teacher,
the project “There was a Special Family” will be
organized.
Preparaon: Children and teacher together plan
the structure, acvies and all the other elements
of the project, then the acvies will be prepared
with the required resources. Remember to keep it
simple and adequate for the children’s ages.
For example, make dierent kinds of puzzles incardboard or paperboard with dierent shapes (a
circle, square and or triangular form), each with a
picture of the dierent types of families, then color
them, paint them or decorate them with creavity.
Then, carefully cut between 12 and 20 pieces and,
when nished, store them in a bag or box.
Also, teachers can make compilaons of shortstories, poems, songs and pictures about family,
and home before the end of the day.
I have a family: The family can provide a family
photograph or the teacher may propose to the
children to make a drawing of their family in
rectangular paper the size of a photo, then they can
glue it in a frame for a mural. This can be decorated
creavely applying dierent techniques and using
ne motor skills, with red, yellow, and blue nger
paint. In this way, they get to know the dierent
families that make up the group class. Besides, boys
and girls can idenfy who has the tallest member
and the smallest, the oldest and the youngest,
etc. It should be emphasized that everyone is just
as important as the others, although they have
dierent physical characteriscs.
Guess what a family is: What if we play a guessing
game? The teacher can ask the queson and tell
children to sit in a circle and listen carefully. It issuggested to read stories of each dierent family
and their members. The teacher can movate
them to tell, how many members there are in their
families, etc.
“Once upon a me… there was a special family”
Once upon a time…
Specic objecves: Teachers and
families will support children to be
able to:
Idenfy and say the names of family•
members and other relaves.
Interact with the social and cultural•
values and norms.
Enjoy arts and cultural experiences•
through verbal languages.
Appreciate the beauty reected in•

and the preservaon of natural resources. Of
course proper use of the bathroom should be
reinforced.
Library Staon:✦ Teachers should invite boys andgirls to observe and describe the place, talk about
what they see and their impressions. Observe

Traveling around the world
“We’re explorers”
Taking advantage of spaces other than the
classroom, like the pao, hallways or the courtyard,
teachers can do the games suggested below.
Boys and girls can gather in a circle outside the
classroom, they will be movated to play the role of
explorers that need to go to discover new things.
The story:✦ Tell a story that talks about a fantasc
and a magical forest, for example: The forest is
called “Morning sun “ because when the sun
shines every living thing around sings with joy, like the plants and animals that live there.
When the moon rises, and the night falls, it is
at this me that all forest dwellers gather to
eat together and relax to start again the next
day. Among the suggested quesons to ask are:
what do they do during the morning?, in the
aernoon? at night? Then start to sing “Sun lile
sun...” or some other song that has relevance to
the day and night.
Get Moving!:✦ While on the tour, childrenare told that in situaons like in the forest
somemes they move with very strong steps
and these movements are called earthquakes.
Children should play with their body movement
like earthquakes and also how to act in case of
a real one happens. Teachers need to be very
cauous and prevent as much as possible that
children get harmed. Songs or simple rhythms
should be used to make this situaon a fun
experience, for example:
-1... 2... 3.... (Clap) When you feel the earth move
(make the move with the body) Hands body and
walk slowly.
-1 ... 2 ... 3 ... (Clap) When you feel the earth move
(make the move with the body) No shoung is beer
(makes sound of silence) and it is a “snail”.
-1 ... 2 ... 3 ... (Clap) While saying when you feel the
earth move (make the move with the body) then look
up, look down, to one side to the other, and seek for
help. (Do all the movements).
Making gestures:✦ Teachers should ask what kind
of emoons they feel when the earth moves and
exemplied by gestures: fear, sadness, crying,
anger and worry, among others, but also remind
them that there will always be people who
will help us when this happens. Helping gives
emoons and moods such as joy, condence,
and peace (make all the gestures). Later in the
class the teacher may represent faces withmoods on the board or newsprint sheets, with
the colors that suggest those emoons.
The magnifying glass:✦ Upon connuing with the
tour, teachers should take the magnifying glass
to observe the plants and animals that live in the
forest. You can use ashcards of animals during
the tour. Children are asked to mimic the body
of the animals they have seen. For example
Specic objecves: Teachers and
families will support children to beable to:
Idenfy and express feelings, needs•
and emoons.
Explore the environment and natural•
phenomena through observaon,
exploraon and experimentaon.

EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT CURRICULUMPRESCHOOL 5
1. Introducon
The early childhood educaon curriculum for ve year olds providesessenal guidelines that guarantee the right to a high quality
educaon, that enable children to achieve maximum bio psychomotor,
cognive, social and emoonal development through their everyday
acvies in the classroom. Family and community support is also
necessary to achieve these goals.
Thus, boys and girls at this age should have the right to educaon
in accordance with their maturity level, growth and development
which enable them to discover the wonderful world of reading and
wring, numerical construcon, environmental exploraon andexperimentaon, and their personal, social, and ecological history.
Learning should be a joyful experience that helps boys and girls
to discover their potenal through contact with everyday life and
should also contribute to their equitable and integral development.
Therefore, strategies aimed at promong educaon in which children’s
rights, gender equity, diverse needs, inclusiveness and peace culture
should be taken into account by the educaonal community upon
organizing acvies.
As with four-year olds, this curriculum oers these guidelines which
emphasize organizaon of spaces, appropriate use of resources,
relevant curricular adaptaons and situaons through an integrated
approach that takes into account all children’s experiences, so that
the process is unied and allows for innovave acons. Workshops,

INTEGRATED METHODOLOGICAL SUGGESTIONSLEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT SITUATIONS
Some dierent globalized methodological proposals for learning and development situaons are
included in this secon; they are distributed in four cross-cung, integrang topics. This sequence
may be carried out with the curriculum for four years; however, this is not the only sequence that can
be suggested. Each teacher adapts the curriculum to the context, the needs and interests of children;
teachers can create other sequences and modify or recreate the strategies and resources proposed.
Each area of experience and development has been assigned an idenfying symbol.
Personal and social development
Expression, communicaon and representaon
Relaonship with the environment
Taking into account the developmental characteriscs of boys and girls, and the objecves, contents
and achievement indicators suggested in this curriculum for this age, the following are proposals for
learning and development situaons, distributed in four integrang themes.
Who I am, I am like this, I am...✦
Once upon a me…✦
Discover, feel, learn and have fun.✦
Traveling around the world.✦

On sunny days, outside the classroom (in theplayground or pao), the teacher can invite boys
and girls to idenfy their shadows. Children are
invited to have fun with their body movements
controlling speed balance to walk, jump, crawl,
swing, turn up, turn down, run, walk on ptoe,
etc.
It is suggested to introduce the topic by talking
about the dierent parts of the body and the
dierences between boys and girls, using
ashcards or illustraons in cardboard. This is agood opportunity to movate and talk about the
dierent features between boys and girls, without
discriminang.
Then the teacher can ask children to go in front
of a mirror to see themselves in it, and at the
same me, emphasize that we see with our eyes.
Children should be encouraged to watch their
image carefully and to make facial movements with
their eyes, cheeks, nose, and tongue. In addion,
they should make ne and gross movements withtheir hands. If there is no mirror available in the
classroom, children could also watch their own
picture, which teachers may have asked to bring to
class in advance, and make a brief descripon of
their own body.
Then teachers can start by asking some quesons:
How do you see yourself? Do you feel okay? Do like
to see yourself in the mirror? Tell us about some
parts of your body. Are you a boy or girl? What
part of your body do you like? What part of your
body you dislike?, among others. And from these
quesons, teachers should connue talking about
the characteriscs, dierences and similaries
between the body of a girl and that of a boy.
Aerwards, the teacher can invite them to make
pairs, so they can draw their bodies on cardboard,
making only the silhouee of her/his body as a
“shadow”. Once the silhouees are done, children
are invited to mold with clay straight lines on the
parts that they like about their body, and brokenlines on the least favorite parts. Then, me should
be allowed for children to express their reasons for
the straight lines in dierent parts of the body, and
how we have to take care of our body.
This acvity is a good opportunity to talk about
the idea of “I know how to take care of my own
body” referring to “our” bodies, and sharing that
we all have a body that we have to take care and
love. Teachers should encourage children to talk
about proper care of the body and senses: cleaning,bathing daily, changing clothes, hand washing, teeth
brushing, sleeping, eang nutrious food, playing,
among others. Children may be asked to mimic some
of these acvies in front of a mirror, for example,
washing hands, brushing teeth, drying with a towel
or dressing in front of a mirror, and others.
It is suggested to encourage the children to share
hugs. Teachers should also take the opportunity to
talk about dues and rights of all the children.
“Having fun with my body!”
Specifc objectves: Teachers and
families will support children to be
able to:
