State one function for each of the named body parts (e.g., “Eyes see”, “Ears hear”).
Sing along with the teacher in a song that pairs body parts with their functions.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Have learners sing the song about the body parts and what they do.
e.g. "... what can the eyes do? They can see, they can see,
Post a Conversational poster showing the human body parts that we can see. Ask them if they can tell you some parts of the human parts that are inside us and that we cannot see. Give it to them as a project for the future.
Have them repeat two of the songs that teach the functions of the body parts.
Have learners perform different activities to enable them to identify the functions of the body parts, E.g. Activity
1. Blindfold learners and let them search for objects e.g. ball,
2. Cover their mouth and ask them to sing or talk or eat.
3. Fold their arms and ask them what they would do if they are to pick something from the floor.
Through "Pick and act" activity, have learners pick cut-out body part and act their functions
