For example, the mouth chews food and the stomach breaks it down further. - Ask your child to identify foods that are easy to digest and those that are harder to digest, based on what they learned in the video. - Play a game where you and your child take turns acting out the different parts of the digestive system, such as pretending to chew food or making gurgling stomach noises.

GAME: "Digestive Dash" In this game, you and your child race to complete a series of challenges related to digestion. For example, you can create a relay where your child must run to grab a "food item" (e.g. a ball) and bring it back to you. Then, you'll ask a question about how the digestive system breaks down that food item and they must answer correctly before moving on to the next round. The first one to complete all the challenges wins!
