Learners sing three different songs, clap on the rhythm and count the number of parts they hear in the songs. E.g. My head, my shoulder, my knee. (3 names). Help them understand that the last number names is the number of object or items counted.
Have learners act and count the functions of some selected body parts (legs, mouth, hands, etc.)
Have them draw more sets, with different parts and match them with sets of same numbers
Have learners match pictures of the parts of the body using arrows with pictures showing the functions
