This lesson plan is for a 30-minute English class for 4-year-olds focusing on parts of the face and body. The teacher will review parts of the face from previous lessons through a song and video. New vocabulary of body parts will be introduced through singing and dancing to the song "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". Students will then create faces using shapes to represent different body parts. The class will end by dancing and singing the song again.

Comentado [A2]: In order to connect the stages, you can give
them parts of the face of the animals that appear in the video, and
they can choose some of them to create a funny face. For example,
they can use an elephant`s nose, a rabbit`s ears, and a cat`s mouth…
