WARM-UP

Spin the bottle

Sit students in a circle with a bottle in the middle. The teacher Spins the bottle. When it stops spinning the student it is pointing to has to answer a question. If the answer is correct then that student can spin the bottle. This is a good class warm-up activity (e.g. How are you? What's your name? What is this? (show an object or flashcard) Do you like ___? etc.).

TEACH THE BODY VOCABULARY

Prepare flashcards or draw "part of the body". Slowly reveal each flashcard card and have your students touch their part of the body (so, when you show the "head" flashcard get everyone to touch their heads). Repeat each word three times and then ask your students to individually say each word.

PRACTICE THE VOCABULARY

Lay the flashcards that you have just taught in front of you, facing your students (or lined up on the board). Randomly touch each card and have your students touch that part of their body and say the word. 

PLAY "FLASHCARD EXERCISES"

Get everyone sitting on the floor and facing the front of the class. Give out body flashcards so that each student has at least one card (even better is for each student to have two cards). Shout out a random flashcard word (e.g. "ears") with an action (e.g. "ears - hands up!"). All students with the ears flashcards have to do that action. Continue with other words and different actions (e.g. jump up and down, run on the spot, turn around, stand up / sit down, wiggle, touch your toes, etc.).
