Give each group a copy of the worksheet and a set of word cards.
Children work in groups to put the word cards next to the correct parts of the body on the boy. Have them glue the
words cards onto the worksheet and color the boy.
Have some groups present their completed worksheet to the class. Display the completed worksheets in the
classroom.
Throw the die!
Put children in pairs. Each pair has a die with the numbers 1–6.
Number the sentences in the dialogue like below:
1. Let's put on sunscreen.
2. First my arms.
3. These are my arms.
4. Now, my nose.
5. This is my nose.
6. Put it on your arms, your nose, your face and your legs.

Weather report: Ask the class about today's weather.
Song: Play a warm-up song.
Warmer
Play a game of Simon says... to review vocabulary from the previous lesson and the phrases stand up, sit down,
and turn around. Include the phrase Point to your... and the body words they have learned.
Ask the children to stand by their desks.
Explain that you are going to give instructions. If the instruction begins with the words Simon says… , children must do
as you say. If not, they should stand still and wait for the next instruction. Any child who gets this wrong is out of the
game and has to sit down.
Give the instructions Simon says: stand up/sit down/turn around/point to your (arm/nose/face/legs). Children pact
out as instructed.
Intermittently insert an instruction which is not preceded by Simon says… (e.g., Point to your nose.) to see which
children are really paying attention.
Continue the game until there is one winner left standing, or a group of winners if you prefer.

Children practice acting out the story as they listen to the recording again. Monitor the activity, checking for correct
pronunciation.
Ask some of the pairs to come to the front of the class to act out the story.
Story actions
Picture 1: Rosy puts the sunscreen on her arms. Billy holds out his arms.

Pass the envelope
Divide the class into groups.
Give each group an envelope with the words cards for body parts.
Play a song as background music. Children pass the envelope to a classmate as the music plays.
Stop the music randomly. The student holding the envelope opens it and takes out one word card. The student reads
it aloud and points to his or her body part.
Continue the game until there are no more cards left in the envelope.
Quick pointing
Divide children into groups.
Call out one body word (singular or plural form).
Children point to their body parts as fast as possible and make a sentence with this, that, these, or those.
Groups that say the sentences correctly and point correctly win points.
Find your partner
Practice sentences with this and these. Make sure children understand the meaning of this and these.
Give each student a picture of a body part (arm, arms, nose, face, leg, legs). Make sure that they can identify what
they have.
Set a signal to start the game (blow a whistle, ring a bell, shake a tambourine, etc.)
Have children stand up and ask each other about their cards: What do you have? (I have a face. / I have legs.)
If they find a partner who has the same body part, they talk to each other using this and these and gestures. E.g., This
is my leg. (Points to one leg.) These are my legs. (Points to both legs.)
Children continue looking for new partners until you give a signal again.
Draw this!
Give each student a piece of paper.
Say a body part. Have children draw the body part on the piece of paper. Have them describe the picture using this
and these.
Display the completed drawings in the classroom.

Greetings
How people greet each other in the United States depends upon their gender, their age, and the situation. People
usually shake someone's hand when they are meeting them for the first time, or if they are in a formal situation.
When greeting someone they already know, men shake other men’s hands and may kiss women once on the cheek.
Women also kiss other women on the cheek, or if they know each other very well, they may give each other a hug.
Many people also hug young children. It’s less usual for men to hug each other.
Jewelry
In adults, a ring on the fourth finger of a person’s left hand signals that they are engaged or married. It’s common
for both men and women to wear wedding rings, but usually only women wear engagement rings. Rules vary, but
most schools allow children to wear jewelry.
