When I was searching for resources to help review the digestive system with my favorite (and only) student, I discovered some pretty cool tools! Watch the video first, and then let your child play the online game as a review. The game actually has more detailed information than the video, but the video provides a firm foundation from which to launch the fun.

Here's a quick, visually-engaging lesson using common household props to explain how the body digests food. While this is more like an overview of the digestive system, it will keep a child's attention until the end. Children will love learning where "farts" come from, and I'm pretty sure they will enjoy timing the digestive experiment (with corn) he suggests at the end.
This is a great online resource for teaching your child about digestion of a variety of foods. Not only is the game interactive, it
is also rich with vocabulary words and fantastic animation to illustrate the information which is given
in bite-sized chunks so as not to overwhelm the child. (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun!)
This is a really good site....the only thing is that its a good beginner website because its a little more compacted lower in the body because the lungs are above it.....lol Love it though
