Guided Teaching: What Do Body Parts Do?8 minutes
Teacher Actions

Show a body poster or drawing. Point to each part and give a simple function, such as 'Eyes help us see.' Ask students to echo the sentence.

Student Actions

Echo the teacher, answer simple questions, and connect each body part to its job.

Guided Practice: Label and Match10 minutes
Teacher Actions

Give students a body outline or poster. Model how to place labels or point to the correct body part. Guide students step by step as they match labels or color the named parts.

Student Actions

Follow directions, place labels, point to body parts, and complete the matching task with support.

Movement Check: Simon Says5 minutes
Teacher Actions

Lead a quick 'Simon Says' game using body parts and actions, such as 'touch your head' or 'wiggle your fingers.'

Student Actions

Perform the movements when instructed and show understanding through action.

Wrap-Up2 minutes

Student Actions

Answer orally, repeat key words, and prepare to finish the lesson.

Support

  • Use pictures, gestures, and repeated sentence frames such as 'My ____ helps me ____.'
  • Pair students with a partner for guided pointing and labeling.
  • Reduce the number of body parts if needed and focus on the most familiar ones first.
  • Provide verbal prompts and model each step before asking students to do it independently.

Challenge

  • Ask students to name an extra body part if ready, such as fingers or toes.
  • Invite students to say the function in a full sentence: 'My hands help me hold things.'
  • Have advanced students help point to body parts on the poster for the class.

Checks for Understanding

  • Can the student point to the named body part?
  • Can the student say or repeat the function of a body part?
  • Can the student complete the matching or labeling task with guidance?

Closure

End by having students show one body part they learned today and say what it does. Praise effort and review the key words together.
