TIMING:

Introduction of the session + Routines

Workshop 1: the face

Showing faces with different missing elements, which students have to recall.

Then, give a face to children which they have to complete by drawing.

Once students have their faces complete they will have to colour them taking into account what teacher says. For instance: colour the ears red.

Workshop 2: the body

Card game: getting two cards and constructing a sentence: touch your (card 1) with your (card 2) (e.g.: touch your tummy with your nose).

Dice game: throw two dices and follow instructions. One of them contains an action, and the other a body part (e.g.: shake - foot)

Workshop 3: Playing doctors

Competition: make three small groups. Students have to run to a board with the picture of a sick boy/girl and place a plaster according to the teacher’s instruction (e.g.: my head hurts). The team that does it first, wins.

Closing activity: singing a body song
