STEP-BY-STEP LESSON PLAN

Step 1​ Warm up (5 min)

Write BODY on the board and ask students to give you words for the parts of the body. Write them on
the board.
Make sure you include the following words, too: eyes, skin, knees, lungs, heart, arms

Step 2​ (2 min)
Divide students into pairs or trios (it can also be done individually, depending on the number of
students), and tell them they are going to listen to a song and that 6 parts of the body will be
mentioned in it. Their job is to find them. Tell students to write down the words they find on a sheet of
paper to share with their teammates later.

Step 3​ (9 min)
Play the song twice.

Step 4​ (5 min)
Put the teams in breakout rooms for them to compare their words, and decide on their final answer.
Tell them to decide who is going to be the captain for the group.

Step 5​ (5 min)
Back to the main room, have the team captains send you the answers via chat box privately.
Award points for the right words. The team with more right words wins!

Step 6 ​(10 min) Music Video Lottery

Tell students they are going to watch the music video for the song. However, before watching the
video, they are going to do a ​Music Video Lottery​.
You can use the same teams from before or make new ones.
Presentation
Show the slide with the pictures. (TV, hammer, guitar, flower, violin, piano, ballerina, policeman,
horse and painting) Explain that ​only five​ of those things will appear on the video. Their task is to
choose the things and come up with reasons why they chose them. (The aim here is for them to use
their imagination to come up with creative reasons why those things would appear on the video).
Tell them that the crazier the better!

Step 7​ (7 min)
Put the groups in ​breakout rooms​ and give them 5 min to choose the pictures.
When the time’s up, have the group captains send their list of things via ​chat box​ privately, for you to
check later who got more right things. Have students from the groups explain their choices.

Step 8​ (5 min)
Play the music video for them to check (or share the link for them to watch on their devices)
