|Put a puppet on your hand and ask each child, “How are you?” Help them, but don’t expect them to answer, reward them with a sticker/high 5.| |
|(Try and get the children to focus on the puppet and not you, they may feel intimidated by you). | |
|( Most importantly, get the kids to follow your actions/gestures. | |
|Using the flashcards, teach the kids the vocabulary words and have them point to each body part. |Min. |
|Whenever the students show great actions or say the answer loudly make sure to reward them. | |
|Teach the “Hokey Pokey” song together with the actions. | |
|Sing the “Hokey Pokey” together. | |
|Review the body parts with the actions. Repeat the words. Play some movement games: | |
|Copy the Movements: Make a movement and ask the students to copy it. For example, kick your leg in the air. Make a second movement and | |
|ask the students to copy you again. This time, flap your arms like wings. Combine the two movements and ask the students to copy you. | |
|Add as many movements as the children can remember. | |
|Shake it Up: Have the students identify different parts of their bodies and shake that part. They can shake their hands, feet, arms, etc.| |

|nose to your toe; touch your head to your leg, etc. | |
|Review the words and actions. | |

|Show the “hands” flashcard again. Ask, “How many hands do you have?” Encourage the students to answer, “I have two hands.” | |
|On a piece of folded construction paper trace a child’s hand. Cut out the hand, leaving the fold uncut. You will end up with a hand-shaped | |
|booklet that will open up. Help each student to make a hand booklet. (Ask your HRT to help you) | |
|Place small amounts of paint in paper plates. | |
|Let the children decorate their handbooks by dotting their thumb or fingers with paint. | |
|Print each child’s name on the outside of the book. | |
|Variations: 1. Use stamp pads instead of paint. 2. Let the students add little arms and legs to their thumb prints/finger prints with a pen| |
|or pencil to make a silly looking person. 3. Use fingerprint combinations to make funny people: an index-finger head, a thumbprint body and| |
|a pinky-finger hands and feet. 4. Less to do: Trace and/or cut out hand-shaped booklets for the students ahead of time. Let the students | |
|concentrate on cutting and/or making fingerprint and thumbprint decorations. | |
|When the children finish, reward them with a high five and encourage them to say, “How many hands do you have? I have two hands.” | |
|Wrap it up by singing the “Hokey Pokey” one more time | |
