Flash Cards - Body parts
Set up - Have a fun song in the cd player, and when you start the music, the children must dance around the room, when you stop the music, put up a body flash card, or just yell out the vocabulary. Then the children must find a partner and touch the appropriate body part on the other child for example,
* Hands - touch palms of hands together and sit down,
* Feet/Toes - lay down on their backs and put the souls of their feet
together,
* Shoulders - get back to back with the partner and sit down
* Knees - kneel down in front of each other knees touching,
But there is a crazy catch, if you yell out Head, the kids must find a partner and do the head shoulders knees and toes song as fast as they can then sit down.
Materials: Flash Cards
Time: 6-8 minutes
Receptive Language: “No (body part)”
Productive Language: body parts, flashcard vocab
Game Explanation: Review body parts with the students and introduce the “No (body part)” concept. In teams or independently, the students must then transport flashcards from one end of the room to the other while following your commands: “No hands”, “No legs”, etc, Make sure the students correctly identify the flashcards they’re transporting.
Materials: none
Time: 6 minutes
Receptive Language: instructions, colours, body parts
Productive Language: colours, body parts
Game Explanation: Basically an extended version of Colour Touch, Dr Feelgood is played by having the students touch various items of a certain colour (as decided and called out by you, the instructor, at least at first) with specified body parts (hand, nose, knee, etc).
Materials: 5 envelopes, pre-made laminated facial body parts
Time: up to 10 minutes
Receptive Language: instructions, body parts, various
Productive Language: various, body parts
Game Explanation: Prepare 5 envelopes, each containing up to 6 different laminated facial body parts (i.e., one for noses, one for eyes, etc). Divide the students into teams & have them perform a task (identify flashcards, answer questions, etc). The winning team gets to pick one body part from one envelope. The first team to complete their face wins.
Note: To make the game a little harder (& a lot longer), mix the body parts up & divide them haphazardly among the envelopes so that the students will never be sure just what feature they’re going to get.
