The lesson plan summarizes an English class for 3-5 year olds focusing on body parts. The class has five parts: 1) a warm-up singing activity to review greetings and vocabulary, 2) retelling a story and teaching a song to reinforce vocabulary, 3) presenting student-created books to develop literacy and confidence, 4) creating paper bag puppets to foster creativity, and 5) a goodbye song.
