From the lens Doin' the Bone Dance and Other Creative Ways to Learn Bone Anatomy.

Have you used any of these resources to teach children about their bones?

Do you have others that you use?

    It's a fact that information retention is much easier if you use song as a memory device. Excellent and interesting lens.

    This is a great way to learn anatomy for kids. Blessed and featured on Blessed by Skiesgreen and also on Early Childhood Abilities Encouraged. Hugs

    Great and creative ideas! I hope someone comes up with an idea like this for teaching anatomy to med students, when we have to memorize every single part of every single bone. :)

    Wow, very thorough - these tips will help my kids learn their bones - at 12 and 13 they're both Hannah/Miley fans too so they must have seen that episode ... will make sure to ask and take it from there!

    What a fun idea! Very creative way to remember anatomy.

    This is great! We'll use many of these ideas when we study the human body. Thank you for the wonderful lens! Liked and blessed.

    Excellent information on teaching kids about bones and anatomy, wish I had your page back in the day when I was teaching health at school, this would have been a great help to me.
  • Upon-Request Jan 27, 2011 @ 9:09 am | delete
    Creative and informative! I could have used a few of these in class :)
  • JoyfulPamela Jan 14, 2011 @ 6:51 am | delete
    Cool! This should help my kiddos (and myself) remember all those names and details! Adding this to my homeschool lens so I can find it next time we study anatomy. Thanks! =D
  • JoyfulPamela Feb 16, 2011 @ 7:08 am | delete
    My little guy is enjoying these activities. I added this to our anatomy lens so we can find it easier! =D

    I have never seen Hannah Montana, but surely didn't know that it was an educational program!
  • aperkins Oct 29, 2010 @ 7:46 pm | delete
    Wonderfully complete lens! I just finished a memory game on the bones of the hand that can be a lot of fun (my 10 yr old can finish it in about 1:30, faster than I can do it!). You can find it at http://www.bone-snap.com Have fun, and thanks for the great lens!
  • Comfortdoc Oct 29, 2010 @ 8:29 pm | delete
    Fun memory game. I was able to do it on the second go round in 1:20. I don't know how many of my carpal bones I remembered thought. Be sure to look at the Teaching with Skeletons at Halloween newly published.
  • RobininColorado Oct 12, 2010 @ 4:50 pm | delete
    Woah! Lots of info! My girls and I are studying the Human Body right now, so your resources are really appreciated! I will probably feature this lens on my site soon! Thank you!

    What an excellent lens. Thanks for the great ideas.

    Wonderful lens. Fun and educational - my favorite kind. Gotta go do a bone dance now. I am lensrolling this to my digestion lens on making poo.

    Wonderful resource for learning bone anatomy. Lensrolling to my skeleton crafts lens that highlights one way I worked with a student to learn about bones.

    What a great source of information. I was amazed by all of the fantastic ideas to help children remember the names of the major bones in the body. Great lens and great information! Thanks so much!

    Awesome ideas for learning anatomy - I love the bone dance and as soon as I saw the name of your lens the song got stuck in my head! My dd's pretty good with her anatomy now, but I wish I'd found this lens sooner as it would have made a great aid.

    Angel blessings for a *very* informative lens on bones!

    What a fantastic Lens, all about bones and the human body. Puzzles sure do help children learn about anything. I started a website that sells only childrens giant floor puzzle. Congratulations on your lens.

    What a great lens! I'm happy to be in The Dance Group with you!
  • DogWhisperWoman Feb 26, 2008 @ 5:10 pm | delete
    I wonder if the reason they put so few of the bones in there was simply because of the shows time limit.
  • Covenant Feb 15, 2008 @ 4:30 pm | delete
    Watched the bone dance with my daughter last week. It may not have all the bones in it, but was effective. The 8 y/o picked up on a bunch of them.

    That song method really and truly works! I had a short time to memorize the 13TH chapter of Corinthians. I had it down in just over two hours and I will never forget it.

    Great lens! 5 Stars and thumbs up!

    Cute lens!!!!
  • Comfortdoc Dec 29, 2007 @ 1:07 pm | delete
    I agree. It would be helpful if the Hannah Montana version had more bones in the song. Maybe we can encourage them to re-write it with more bones.
  • sonny Dec 29, 2007 @ 11:58 am | delete
    i think that it would help if hannah montana's song said ALL the bones (the main 26 of them) because otherwise the only thing they are teaching is ten. it would be so helpful if they did all of them
  • Music-Resource Dec 25, 2007 @ 9:13 am | delete
    Hi ComfortDoc, Learning should always be fun for young children, great ideas :) I like the games and I appreciate the effort you put into building this lens. As you requested, I did add your favorite classical composers to my music polls lens. Thanx for the suggestion ~Music Resource~

    wow i love hannah montana if my teacher did that i would love scool. #5
