Junior Explorers What's My Body Clue?
Help kids tune in to their body clues and make safer, smarter choices through play! In this mindful matching game, children pair animal reactions (a turtle hides, a bear growls, a kookaburra laughs) with the physical sensations we feel (butterflies in the tummy, sweaty palms, jelly legs). It’s a gentle, age-appropriate way to build self-awareness, emotional vocabulary and body-safety skills.
