Notice, Compare, and Connect
Children explore familiar experiences such as gentle movement, resting, eating, drinking, listening to music, and enjoying an activity. They can mark choices, draw, write, point, gesture, or communicate in their preferred way.
The activities encourage children to recognize that body clues can vary between people and across situations. There are no right or wrong answers, and noticing a change is never required.
The Be a Body Detective: Interoception Activities PDF is Flexible and Easy to Use
Use individual pages during therapy sessions, classroom routines, or at home. Many activities take just a few minutes, while others compare naturally occurring moments throughout the day.
Adults select and adapt activities based on each child’s comfort, interests, communication preferences, and needs. Children can choose more than one response, add their own words, select “Not sure,” or skip an activity.
