Objectives:
Students will:
- Use correct terminology to identify the penis and buttocks as the 2 private body parts of boys and men.
Vocabulary:
private
public
penis
buttocks
Materials: Picture Card 12, magazines, scissors, paper, 2 boxes, sample of boys' and men's clothing, 2 signs - "public" and "private"
Procedure:
- Read Picture Card 12 and go over discussion questions.
- Have students look through magazines and tear out pictures of various locations indoors and outdoors. Then have students identify these locations as public or private. Pictures can be sorted into 2 separate boxes and then glued on 2 large pieces of poster board marked "public" - "private". Save for Procedure #4. For purposes of this class, students should only identify the bedroom and the bathroom as private locations. All other locations are public. (Note: If students are able to understand more abstract concepts, they can also be told that other locations are considered private if the person is alone or with another person and others cannot see them or hear them. Ex. A living room can be a private place to talk to a parent about something private, if no one else is around.)
- Bring a stack of men's clothing to school. Label 2 boxes with signs that say 'public' and 'private'. Have students sort clothing accordingly. (Underwear - boxers and briefs, pajamas and athletic supporters are private.)
- Hang up the 2 signs made in Procedure #2 on opposite sides of the room. Tell students that you are going to name some activities. If the activity is private go stand by the sign that says private. If the activity can be done in public go stand by the sign that says public. (Modification - students can point to the sign)
