The Scary Skeleton

I'm a scary skeleton
And I look just like you
I sleep and walk, I laugh and talk
And move my body too

My head is on my shoulders
My neck's between the two
I've got two eyes, a mouth, a nose
And two ears just like you

I'm a skeleton, I am your friend, you see
I live inside you, so don't be scared of me!

I've got a bony body
As everybody knows
Two bony legs, two bony feet
And ten small bony toes

I've got two big bony knees
To help me sit or stand
Five bony little fingers
Are on each big bony hand

I'm a skeleton, I am your friend, you see
I live inside you, so don't be scared of me!
I'm a skeleton, I am your friend, you see
I live inside you, so don't be scared of me!

piece of paper to draw on. 

 

Instructions: 
 



 

 Roll the dice. You must get 1 = a body to begin! 

 



 

When you get 1, draw a body on 

your paper.  
 



 

In turn, roll the dice and draw the 

different parts of the body on the 
skeleton. But don’t forget-you must have 
a body before you can draw the 
shoulders, arms, legs or neck and you 
must have a head before you can draw 
the eyes, ears, nose and mouth! 
 



 

The first person to finish his/her skeleton is the winner!
