💛 Introduction

Marcus Meerkat is your body's lookout.

He helps us notice the clues our body gives us when feelings visit.

Sometimes our tummy feels funny. Sometimes our shoulders feel tight. Sometimes our legs want to run, jump or wiggle.

These are all important body clues.

In this lesson, children explore how feelings can show up in different parts of the body and begin to build awareness of what their body might be trying to tell them.

There are no right or wrong answers. We are simply practising noticing.

🌿 Gentle Reminder

This lesson is not about finding the 'correct' feeling.

It is about helping children become curious about their own experience.

Every child's body may give different clues, and every answer is welcome.

Marcus helps us slow down, notice and listen.

Feelings are clues. Bodies give us messages. We are learning how to notice them.
