kids and asks everybody’s names (5 minutes).

guess who’s tapping their back (Is it Javier? Yes/No, etc). (5-10 minutes).
Vocabulary-introduction

4) Perry has another surprise for the children: his friend, Baloo the Bear (the carton

craft). Unfortunately, Baloo the Bear has all its body parts apart. The teacher
asks the children to put all the parts of Baloo the Bear together and introduces
body parts: head, arms, hands, legs, feet (5-10 minutes).
5) A video: Magic English 13(My Body). 01: 56-05.56

hands, tap your feet.
Children watch a short video in which Monkey, Baloo and monkeys are
dancing. After that, they have to repeat the new words (5 minutes).
Vocabulary-consolidation
6) Flashcard game: Slap it. (5 minutes).

Children sit in a circle on the floor, with all the flashcards inside the circle.
When the teacher says a word, children have to slap the corresponding card. The
first kid to slap the card is the winner. However, if children slap the wrong card,
they get penalty points: a yellow card and, then, a red card. With a red card a
player is out of the game. The pupil that collects most cards wins the game.
7) Flashcard race (5-10 minutes).

Children stand on one side of the classroom, the teacher puts the flashcards on
the other. When the teacher says a word, the children have to run and pick up the
corresponding card. If children pick up the wrong card, they get penalty points: a
yellow card and, then, a red card. With a red card a player is out of the game.

The teacher mixes “run” with other verbs: crawl, walk, jump. The pupil that
collects most cards wins the game.
8) Flashcard game: The Memory Game (5-10 minutes).

The teacher makes a copy of all the flashcards and puts them all on the floor face
down. Children sit around the cards and take turns to search for the right pair.
Everytime they pick up a card, they have to name it. The pupil that collects most
cards wins the game


9) Dice game (5-10 minutes).

The teacher assigns each body part a number. Each students takes a sheet of
paper and a pencil. Teams take turns to roll a dice and draw the part of the body
that corresponds a number. The first team to draw a complete body wins the
game.
10) Feet/fingers game (5 minutes).
11) Children stand in a row next to the rope. Right side is for feet, left side is for

fingers. The teacher shouts the words, the children have to jump to the
corresponding sites. The game is tricky; if the teacher says fingers when the
children are on the left side, they cannot move. If a pupil makes a mistake, they
are out of the game
12) Perry says (5 minutes).

Before the game, the teacher reviews with the children the new expressions “move
your arms, move your legs, move your body, clap your hands, tap your feet”. The
teacher says to the class “Perry says: move your legs/clap your hands…” Children have
to repeat the right orders.
