What Is a Life Cycle?
A life cycle describes the life of a living being from when it is born to when it grows up,
including all the changes during this time. Look at these life cycles.

Different Stages of Being a Human
In 30 seconds, think of as many different 30 Second Timer
stages of being a human as you can. Below is
a picture to help you start.
Start
Just like other animals, humans have a life cycle.

Growing Up
Human beings are growing and changing all the time.
You are different now to how you were a year ago, and a
year from now, you will be different again!
Can you think of a way

that you have changed
as you have got older?
Growing Up
Life for humans, starts when they grow inside their mother’s womb.
What happens next?

What are the stages of
life that human beings go
through?

cycle.
Baby
The human life cycle starts with the baby stage. When babies
are born, they can’t do anything for themselves.
Up until they are six months old, babies don’t eat normal food,
they only drink milk. It isn’t like the milk you might put on
your cereal, it has all the things a baby needs to grow properly.
Babies need lots of sleep. They don’t usually sleep all the way
through the night but they will often sleep during the day as
well.
Babies can’t talk – when something is wrong, they will let

people know by crying.
Pretend you are holding a baby. Show how you

Toddler
Just like the name suggests, the toddler stage is when a child is
starting to toddle, which means wobbly walking. The toddler stages
are from ages 1 to 3.
As well as learning to walk, toddlers go through lots of other

changes…
•Their teeth start to grow.

•They start learning to talk.
•Toddlers start learning to eat lots of food and to feed themselves.
Toddlers still can’t do many things for themselves and need lots of
help from their grown-ups.
Stand up and pretend to be a toddler. Do some

fall over!
Child
This is the stage you are at now. You are learning to be independent,
which means there are more things you can do on your own.
Talk
About What can you do on your own now that you
used to need help with?
It
An important part of this stage is starting school. This stage is full of lots of changes and
children learn to do lots of things, such as:
•reading
•writing
•counting
•riding a bike
•swimming
back
Teenager
The teenage stage is from ages 13 – 19. Teenagers are getting ready
to be adults and are becoming independent.
Teenagers’ bodies change a lot during this stage. They get taller and
start to look more like adults. These changes are because of things
called hormones. Hormones are things inside your body that make
your body change.
Because they are growing so quickly, some teenagers eat a lot. Many
teenagers like to sleep for a very long time. Some teenagers can be a
bit grumpy at times!
Talk
About Do you know any teenagers? What are they
like?
back
It
Adult
Being an adult is also called being a grown-up. There are
lots of things that grown-ups can do. A lot of adults get
jobs and live on their own, with friends or with a partner.
At some point, many adults have children of their own,
which starts the human life cycle again.
Talk
About What job would you like to do when you are
an adult?
back
It
Old Age
Old age is the later stage of being an adult.
Older people retire, which means they stop working. This

means they have plenty of time to enjoy themselves. They
may find a new hobby or spend extra time with their
grandchildren.
Some old people have grey or white hair. Sometimes old

people might move more slowly because their joints and
muscles ache. Older people’s eyes might not work as well so
they might need glasses for reading or seeing far away.
Talk
About When you are older, what hobbies would you
like to try?

Activity 1
Human Growth timeline.
Cut out the pictures and put the pictures in the right order to
show the human growth from the beginning. Label each stage of
growth.
Activity 2
In your books, use the images from this activity sheet to put them in order and write a short
paragraph to describe each stage of a human cycle.
For example;
All babies grown in their

mum’s tummy and when
they are born they need the
adults to take care of them.
All babies need milk as
their food to eat. They also
need to be kept clean and
healthy.
