3. Doctor Feelgood
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).

2. Bodiless
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 theyre transporting.

1. Crazy Body Parts

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.

5. Monstrosities

Materials: whiteboard, markers &/or paper & crayons

Time: 6-7 minutes
Receptive Language: various
Productive Language: various
Game Explanation: Review body parts, colours, etc. Either individually (at the
whiteboard) or all at once (on their own pieces of paper), the students must
draw the wacky monster that you describe for them: three heads, nine eyes,
two mouths, long purple hair, etc. Let the drawer of the best (that is, most
accurate) picture describe the next monster to be drawn.

6. Please Touch (Simon Says)

Materials: none
Time: 5 minutes
Receptive Language: instructions, Please touch your [body part]
Productive Language: none
Game Explanation: Have the students stand in a circle & demonstrate that
when you call out Please touch your [body part] the students must do so as
quickly as possible, but that if you only call out Touch your [body part] they
are not to do so. Any students that make a mistake sit down. Continue play
until there are a handful of champions, until only one student remains, or
youve successfully knocked them all of the students out of the game.

Do as I say, not as I do

A 'Simon says' game with a difference. First practice Simon Says with the Ss so that
they understand the game and body parts. I find it works just as well omitting the 'Simon says'.
Now tell them to do as you SAY, not as you do, and repeat playing the game - only this time,
when you say 'touch your knees' etc, touch your ears instead, or any other part of your body. This
is a good way to see who is listening to you correctly and who is just copying your movements.
Ss find this game much more fun than the original. (submitted by Lisa Coleman).

Lesson plan 03.12.2015

For older students (8 and older): Sit everyone in a circle around you and throw (or
roll) a ball to each student randomly. As you do so, ask questions, starting from
the simple (What's your name?, How are you?) to more involved questions
(Where do you live?, What is your favorite food, Do you like Superman?, Can you
fly?, etc.). You can review questions from previous lessons and introduce new
questions. Generally, I try to introduce one or two new questions a month - the
first time they are introduced ask everybody the question, then always review in
the next lessons.
