This is a warmer you can play again and again, as you can add a new body part each time. This is actually how I introduce and practice body parts for lower levels. No need for flash cards as their bodies are always right there and more tangible than flash cards.

I like coming up with new actions for the different body parts. My personal favorite is: ‘Touch your heart. I love you mummy, I love you daddy, I love you (sexy) baby’, but the kids usually prefer: ‘Touch your bum. Wiggle, wiggle’ or ‘Touch your neck. Squeeze’ :).

Occasional problem: I do and say and they only do the action, but don’t say (read: don’t practice) the body parts.

Solution: I play ‘Robot’. They say it, I do it (of course, I only respond to English instructions). Later, they can be robots too.

I’d love to get some new ideas for less obvious body parts, so please write them in the comments if you have some.
