Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Have learners sing different songs in their local language and/or in the English language that identify parts of the body and perform actions on it. E.g. Learners point to the parts of their bodies as they sing e.g.
Head, shoulders knees and toes
Knees and toes 2x
And eyes and ears
And mouth and nose...
Other examples of action songs are My head, my shoulder, my knees,
I have one head, two eyes. I am black and beautiful, someone is fair.
Have learners follow the model of the teacher in clapping on the rhythm of the song, putting more stress on the names of the body parts.
