The parts of the body


The first thing that we can do is to name each part of the body and then children repeat it in own body. How the natural method says is better if we learn words with the objects they were referred to. Other method what emphasized this idea is the Audiolingual method; consist in repeating words and sentences.



But, how Piaget highlights, children are sense-makers, they like to be active. For this reason the game Simon says is a good activity for work of parts of the body. This game is easy to do and the kids love it. You can check that they understand that you say and that they can distinguish the parts of the body.
In the game one of participants directs the action; this child should say the sentence Simon says that you touch followed by a body part, like your arm, your nose or your foot. The rest of the class should do it, if they don’t touch the correct part of body, they will be eliminated.

One famous song that helps us to teach the parts of the body is Head and Shoulders
