The Body

I've started introducing students to vocabulary for different parts of the body.  We start by singing a song (usually songs that the students know) and I emphasise the actions related to the parts of the body that I want them to learn.  After singing a song and doing the actions, I ask students to identify different parts of the body (head, arm, eyes, etc.) depending on the songs we've used.  Below are some of the songs we've been using in class (I usually don't show them the images as I want to develop their listening skills as much as possible).

ONE LITTLE FINGER


MY EYES, NOSE, MOUTH, EARS

HOKEY POKEY

THIS IS THE WAY....

HEAD, SHOULDERS, KNEES AND TOES


THE BODY
 

The following video can be used to introduce a number of activities.

- MY MONSTER
Students invent a monster and describe the body parts or simply answer questions (What colour is your monster?  How many arms has it got?  Has the monster got three eyes?)

- MONSTER DICTATION
Students are given a blank sheet of paper and have to draw the monster you describe (The monster has got one green eye.  The monster has got three noses.  The monster has got two heads.)

- MONSTER COLOURING ACTIVITY
Students are given a picture of a monster and  told how to colour it (The eyes are red.  The arms are blue.)

BODY PARTS: MONSTERS UNIVERSITY

I hope you find this useful.

Until next time.
