Body Image Lesson Plans

Youth are bombarded with images of different body types for many different sources and it's up to adults to educate them about different body types. Teens need help understanding that there is no "normal" body type and that those portrayed most in the media are not reflective of the general population.

Is This Normal?


Teens often worry and wonder whether their bodies are normal. This lively lesson engages students by testing their knowledge about reproductive and sexual body parts and how they function. Teams then get to vote on whether something is "normal" or someone should "see the doctor".

The lesson concludes with teens identifying where they can find reliable sources of information.
