Learning Body Parts in Yuwi
Language is more than words—it is culture, connection, and identity.
Learning Body Parts in Yuwi is a fun and respectful introduction to First Nations language learning for early childhood settings. Created with guidance from Yuwi community members, this course helps children learn body part names in Yuwi, the language of the Traditional Custodians of the Mackay region.
The lessons are playful, physical, and full of movement. Children clap, point, sing, and move as they learn. It is engaging, age-appropriate, and deeply meaningful.
Every word spoken is a step toward cultural respect and language preservation.
