 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.

Lesson Three Song


Objectives
 To identify more school objects and use words in the context of a song
 To help children develop their listening and singing skills
Language
 Language focus: listening, writing, speaking, reading
 Vocabulary: fingers, hands, eyes
Resources and materials
 Student Book p. 22
 Workbook p. 22
 Audio Tracks 35, 36–37
 Flashcards 40–42
 Word cards: fingers, hands, eyes
 Large pieces of blank paper (one per group)
 Paint sets and paint brushes (per group)
Culture note: Body language
Gestures
In the United States, people usually wave to acknowledge each other from a distance. They nod their head to mean
“yes” and shake them from side to side to mean “no.” A shrug of the shoulders means “I don't know.” It is
considered rude to point to someone directly using your index finger.

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.

Introduction
Weather report: Ask the class about today's weather.
Chant.
 Play the recording from page 20 (Track 33) and say the chant together to review the words for parts of the body.
 Have children clap their hands once when they say This is. Have children clap their hands twice when they say These
are.
Lead-in
 Use your own body or Flashcards 40–42 to introduce the three new words. Hold up the flashcards one at a time and
say the words for children to repeat.
 Ask three children to come to the front of the class. Give each one a different flashcard and ask him/her to hold it in
the air. Say the body words one at a time. The class points to the correct flashcard.
