A is for abdomen, better known as your tummy,

Keep it happy with food that’s healthy and yummy.

B is for blood pressure, with the greatest of ease,

It’s measured by giving your arm a small squeeze.

C is for cough, please listen to your mother,

Turn your head … and your mouth, to cover!

D is for diagnosis, what’s making you sick?

With an exam and some tests, the doctor finds out quick.

E is for exercise, get an hour each day,

Dance, a team or just get out and play!

F is for fracture; you fall and say “ouch,”

Your leg’s in a cast and you’re on the couch.

G is for germs, invisible and mean,

But you can defeat them by keeping hands clean.

H is for heart, pumping blood to your head and your feet.

A stethoscope is the tool used to hear each beat.

I is for immunization, a shot which hurts a bit at first,

But it gives your body superpowers with a germ-fighting burst.

J is for ts, which help you bend, jump and run.

Get up, move around, and have lots of fun!

K is for kidneys, they are shaped like a bean,

Both working hard to keep your blood clean.

L is for lungs, we hope you don’t wheeze,

Keep them both healthy by not smoking please.

M is for measure, that’s how we know,

Your height and your weight, let’s see how you grow!

N is for nurses who help give you care,

With kindness and wisdom their talent they share.

O is for otoscope with a bright light that shows,

The inside of your ears, your mouth, and your nose.

P is for physician, what’s that you say?

It’s a special word for the doctor who will see you today.

Q is for questions, you can bet we’ll ask many,

To find out about you and your family … even your Granny!

R is for reflex, that funny leg jerk you see,

When we tap with our hammer on the front of your knee.

S is for sunscreen, protecting you from the sun;

Slather it on, sunburns hurt and aren’t fun!

T is for taste buds, those bumps on your tongue,

When you eat you know whether to say “yuck” or say “yum.”

U is for uvula, open your mouth wide,

Say “ahhh,” it’s that thing dangling inside.

V is for vision; look at the big E,

Read the lines to show how well you can see.

W is for washing, it’s just the right trick,

Keeping you clean so you don’t get sick.

X is for X-ray, we can see your insides,

And find broken bones that would otherwise hide.

Y is for yawn, you aren’t getting your rest,

Get plenty of sleep, so you’ll feel your best.

Z is for zero, the number of times we hope you are sick,

But when you don’t feel well, come see us quick!
