make a sculpture (clay perhaps) or a painting of your favourite body part. sawing out a wooden plank to make it look like a hand is fun, you could even have the kids paint it too, and if you drill a hole and attach a cord which is in turn tied around a wooden ring that you have to try and get around the fingers/thumb, it makes for a great game too, so double the fun.
Ironthread statues are quite cool too (you take a piece of wire, bend it in two, make a large loop for the head, twist it so it stays, bend each of the open parts to make the arms, make another, smaller loop for the hands, bring back to the middle, twist a couple of times to get the center part of the body, then use the ends of the thread for legs). you can use clay as a footing for this so it won't fall over.
There's more where that came from, mail me if you want more ideas. sorry I forgot the names of a few things, it's rather late here and english is not my first language.

What about the way the Egyptians painted people, with heads in profile, torso square on, and legs facing sideways.
Try getting a student to lie on wallpaper and draw round the body in a pose, like a body in a murder mystery. You could cut it up like a jig-saw and get others to try to piece it together. Other students could try to fill in the outline with the picture of the body, using clues from a piece of descriptive writing.

Hi. I'm not sure if this is what you mean but, you could get the class into groups of say three and get each group to do one part of the body... one group could do the arms and then say what arms can be used for IE; cuddling squeezing carrying... another group could draw the legs and say what they do... walking kicking..running ..jumping another could do the eyes and so on then you could put the bits together when they finish to make up a complete body. i hope this helps xx

Get them to pick different parts of the body. Let them pick a part e.g. the heart. Get them to read up about their chosen body parts. Then tell them to create something -anything from a drawing to a model- that symbolises to them, the purpose and function of the heart.
