ACTIVITY TIME
40 minutes
Body Vocabulary & What’s This?
Lesson plan where students learn vocabulary and quiz each other using WH & YES/NO questions
FINAL WORDS:
It’s basically a fun and fast-moving activity. Although there is lots of repetition, the students don’t feel it so repetitive because of the different turns the plan takes (WH questions, then YES/NO questions and finally a quick visit to the doctor’s). If you have the same group in a future class, you could have them quiz each other in a similar way to reinforce what they have learned. For the stronger students who have already remembered everything well you could give them a few new items of vocabulary like armpit, forehead, index finger or knuckle and be a little more demanding in their pronunciation and fluency.
