Cells for Kids

As we began studying the human body we learned about the most basic unit of life – cells! This cells for kids lesson is filled with lots of engaging activities and cells printables for kids from kindergartners to elementary age students in grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, grade 4, grade 5, and grade 6.

  1. We used the following free printable All About Cells reader book to learn about the parts of the cell and their function as well as review what we learned with a cell activity worksheet
  2. We created a cell model together (see clever memory devises to remember different parts)
  3. The kids created their own edible cell to reinforce what they had learned.
  4. We made edible licorice DNA as we touched on the fact that the nucleus of each living cell contains DNA – the instructions for what each cell should look like and do.
  5. We played this FREE Human Cells Review Game

We used things we had on hand to make a human cell model for students to remember what they have read and really be able to visualize the different parts.

How to Make a DNA model

This project has been around the block for a while, but it is equally fun to make! We will learn more about DNA in the coming weeks, but I wanted to at least help them connect where DNA was from (nucleus) and that it contained all the information as to what the cells should look like and do.

Cells Game for Kids

We played this fun cells review game to practice and review what we had learned – the name of the various parts of the cell, what they look like, and their function.
Basically print on cardstock, cut cards apart. Then play like memory where kids need to match the name and function of each cell part. Make it harder by matching name, function, and picture if you like or just have kids put them together if you don’t have time for the game.
