 - To introduce new vocabulary for parts of the body: //la tête// (head),// l’épaule // (shoulder),// le genou // (knee), // le pied // (foot), // la jambe // (leg), // les yeux // (eyes), // les oreilles // ( ears) //la bouche // (mouth), //le nez // (nose) - To raise awareness of how to recognise nouns as masculine and feminine by looking at the article (//un/le une/la //)

Resources:
Flashcards of bodyparts, screen with sound enabled for song. // Teachers note: The words of the song in the link may not be in identical order to the lyrics for the second verse. Choose a version that you think works best and stick with it for your class. Can children spot which nouns are plural and which are masculine or feminine? How would they find out for plural nouns? this will lead into dictionary skills. // || * Link to @Head shoulders song with @Olympic theme or with @monster theme || media type="file" key="34 - body parts.mp3" width="240" height="20" ||
