Face vocabulary - Learning can be fun!

I use English Adventure B, with the second grade students. When we learn about the parts of the face and the body this is how we usually do it.
1.  I play the song from the CD that goes with the book and students work in pairs so that they need to show the part of the face they hear but on their partner's face.
2. Then I put pictures on the board with the target vocabulary and I play a CD ( you can say the words yourself) and the students need to point to the correct picture.
3. Next, I read them the story Is this my nose? ( A lovely storybook you can order here, they don't charge delivery : http://www.bookdepository.com/Is-This-My-Nose-/9780764161537) , and we use the mirror at the end of the book. Look in the mirror and name the parts of the face.
4. Finally, we use some toys - Mr. and Mrs Potato head - students create their faces and then describe them.

Clothes - Learning can be fun!

In the 3rd grade I use English Adventure 1. When we learn about clothes vocabulary I always use the cards in the back when it's time for revision. You can make your own cards or students can draw and make the cards themselves. So this is the idea. Each student chooses 4 cards ( or more, or less) and he/she needs to make sentences using present continuous and clothes vocabulary. This is how we did it.
