Materials and Prep

  • Prepare to engage in fun and interactive discussions about the human body.
  • Be ready to use simple language and encourage questions from the student.

Activities

  • Body Parts Song:

    Sing a simple song about body parts, like "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes." Encourage the student to touch each part as they sing.
