Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Have learners sit in a semi-circle, using pictures and toys, let pupils identify the different parts of their body. In pairs, have pupils count each other's fingers, toes, write it down on the board, and individually have pupils count the other parts of their bodies and write it down on the board as they sing and clap their hands to the rhythm.
E.g. my head, my shoulders, my knees, my toe...
Have learners sing Alphabet song and follow the sequence of the letters as it is written on the wall.
