“My Size” Insides
Major Human Organs
Brain: The organ of thought, memory and emotion. Controls
the central nervous system.
Larynx: Situated above the windpipe, it is an elaborate
arrangement of cartilages and muscles containing a pair of
vocal cords that vibrates to produce sounds.
Learn about the body's major organs with hands-on
activities! We've created bright illustrations of organs and
printed them on special laminated “grip card.” Wrap the felt
bands around a student’s body and secure it in place with the
grip card tabs. Children will learn the position of organs by
placing them on the body of their classmate!
There are four pieces of felt, two thin strips and two thick
strips. Wrap the thin strips around the forehead and neck and
hold in place with grip card taps. Wrap the wider strips around
the chest and hips. Note: Grip card will stick to some fabrics. To
prevent matting, test the child’s clothing before applying the
grip card.
We’ve also included reference charts and reproducible
“bone” artwork so you can extend the activity into an
exploration of the skeleton.
Use “My Size” Insides to learn the names of organs and
develop an understanding of the role organs play inside our
body.
We’ve printed the names in English, French, Spanish and
German on each of the thirteen organs and provided duplicates
of the smallest organs.
Lungs: Pair of spongy sac-like organs that oxygenate the blood
while removing carbon dioxide.
Heart: Hollow muscular organ that rhythmically contracts and
expands to pump blood through the circulatory system.
Liver: Produces bile (bitter yellow fluid to aid in the digestive
process) and receives nutrients first after food is processed by
the intestines.
Spleen: Helps purify the blood.
Stomach: A muscular sac-like organ that digests foods.
Gallbladder: Stores and concentrates bile.
Kidneys: Filter impurities from the blood and excrete them as
urine.
Pancreas: Secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum
which helps breakdown food in the small intestine.
Bladder: A membranous sac used as a storage space for urine.
Large intestine or colon: Absorbs water and many nutrients
from digested food. Hosts several kinds of bacteria that aid in
digestion.
Small intestine: Major site of digestion. It is 10-feet (3m) long
in a child, and 20 feet (6m) long in an adult male.
Integrated activities:
Introduce and discuss each of the organs and its role in the
body. Ask one student to put on the felt bands. This student will
model the organs as other students place the organs on his
body. One by one, ask students to pick an organ, say the name,
describe the function and place it in the proper area of the
body.
We’ve created a chart showing the locations of all the
organs superimposed over a skeleton to give children a
reference for the location of the organs in the human body.
Reproduce this chart and hand out to students. Children can
refer to the chart as they position the organs on the student
model. Click on our website for a blank chart:

out to students. Ask them to fill in the names. Use this chart as
an evaluation tool.
Roylco manufactures a companion kit to “My Size”
Insides. Look for 48001 “My Size” Skeleton and combine it
with “My Size” Insides for a complete learning experience!
