All About My Body: Measure and Compare (Grade 1)
A hands-on page for first graders: trace your hand, measure your hand, foot and arm in cubes, write how tall you are and how many baby teeth you have lost, then fill in a table that compares you with a friend. Every child's answers are different, so there is no answer key; it pairs well with a measurement unit.

About this worksheet
A hands-on page for first graders: trace your hand, measure your hand, foot and arm in cubes, write how tall you are and how many baby teeth you have lost, then fill in a table that compares you with a friend. Every child's answers are different, so there is no answer key; it pairs well with a measurement unit. First graders, about ages 6 to 7, can read the words and write them on their own. Guess first, then measure: kids get better at estimating with every try.
Tips for using it
- Line the object up with the 0 on the ruler, not with the end of the ruler.
- Measure a few things at home too, like a spoon, a shoe or a toy car.
- Before any worksheet, play "touch your...": call out a body part and have kids touch it on themselves. The labels stick much faster after the body has done it.
- On the labeling pages, read the word bank aloud together first and cross each word out once it is used.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
