This is a lesson plan we had to design for Practice II. It involved a song for small children and a set of activities for them to do. The idea was to present it to our classmates as if they were our students. It was the first approach we had as regards the design of lesson plans and it was fun and challenging since we had to do some research to find the perfect song to teach body parts and re-accommodate the tasks to our students’ level of English.

Introduction
In this lesson, learners will be introduced to the topic ‘Body parts’. They will listen
to the song called “One Little Finger” and then they will play the game “Simon
says”. They will also practise present simple, mainly the imperatives as well as
singing the song. Students will work with a matching activity and they will have to
paint an animal following the teacher’s instructions. After that, we will play a game
with flashcards and finally students will find words related to the topic in a
wordsearch as extension work.
Procedure
1. Introduce the topic (5–7 mins)

 Ask the students if they already know any part of the body and if they can
identify them.
 Introduce the topic of body parts with the song “One Little Finger”. Review the
parts of the body that are featured in the song while playing the game “Simon
says”
3. Focus on vocabulary (15 mins)
 Matching activity (5’): students have to match the written form of the new
vocabulary with the corresponding images.
 Colouring activity (10’): we will give our students a numbered picture of a cat
and they will have to colour each part of the body following the teacher’s
instructions.
4. Focus on structure (10 mins)
 Game: we will divide the class into two groups. Each group will have phrases
related to the topic put downwards on the table. In turns, each student will have
to pick up a flash card and run to stick it on the board next to the corresponding
picture.
 Relaxing/breathing exercise
4. Home assignment
 At the end of the class, we will give our students a word search for them to do it
at home and it will be checked the following class.
