In recent years, with the rapid development of society and the popularization of information technology, children's activities have undergone significant changes. However, this change has also brought about a series of problems, such as reduced physical fitness and an increase in mental health problems. Embodied Cognition Theory, as an emerging cognitive theory, emphasizes the central role of the body in the cognitive process and believes that cognition is formed through body experience and activities. This theory provides new perspectives and methods in the field of education, especially in life education. Life education aims to help students understand life, understand the meaning and value of life, and cultivate attitudes and behaviors that respect and love life. Introducing embodied cognition theory into primary school life education will help design educational paths that are more in line with children's physical and mental development characteristics and improve educational effects.
