K-4 Lesson Plan: "The Baby’s Heart Beats Like Mine"

A Simple, hands-on way to help young learners connect with unborn children

About the lesson plan

What will your students learn?

Through interactive activities and a fun craft, children will discover that a baby’s heart begins to beat as early as 22 days – just like theirs! This engaging lesson helps young learners connect with the humanity of the unborn in a simple, age-appropriate way, fostering wonder and appreciation for the beauty of life.

Science-Backed, Yet Simple - A gentle introduction to fetal development
Fun & Interactive - Children will feel their own heartbeats, see images of babies in the womb, identify similarities they share with the unborn, create a bracelet to remember when the heart begins to beat, and share what they’ve learned with their parents and loved ones
Designed For Educators & Parents - Ideal for Christian classrooms, Sunday schools, and homeschool settings
