The Doctor Is In! Quick Activity
Encourage children to share their own experiences with visiting the doctor. Ask them to describe the doctor’s office.
They might mention the examining table and the stethoscope the doctor uses to listen to their hearts.
Invite children to turn the play area into the office of a doctor who helps patients have healthy hearts. Let children
decide how they want to set up the office and what roles they want to include, such as doctor, nurse, receptionist,
parent and child. (Children may prefer to bring stuffed animals to the office to examine for healthy hearts.) Help
children gather props and alert family members to particular needs, such as an old bathroom scale for weighing
patients. Old white dress shirts will work as lab coats for the office staff.
