Body Unit Cutouts for the English Language Learner

This blog post will go on the using the cutouts to teach the body unit to Kindergarten EFL students. ESL Teachers can find the LINK to the complete resource here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Body-Unit-for-Kindergarten-Holistic-English-Series-11-6416731

Body Unit Cutouts. The cutouts can be used for face to face or for online teaching. They can be used to introduce the unit topic or to decorate your ESL classroom setting. Ideal for the students to identify and name the body parts.

I made the cutouts with words to match with easy to cut dotted lines.

Play as an easy matching game. Students will match the body picture to each body part word.

More teaching ideas on matching between the body parts cutouts and the words.

Sort the cutouts in to 1 or 2 body parts.

Teacher: One body! Two feet!

Sort the body cutouts into left and right.
Teacher: right arm, left arm

Use the words cutouts to place on the student’s or teacher’s body. A toy can work. I used a teddy bear. Introduce the simple present as you describe the teddy bear's parts of the body. Also review the facial features. Students will demonstrate their communication knowledge.
Teacher: The teddy bear has two arms and two legs.

There is the boy and the girl cutout and label the parts of the body either on a table or the board.

HOLIDAYS: EASTER.

What about doing the same thing with the Easter bunny. Use the Easter Bunny picture and place the parts of the bosy words next to each one.

Magazine Cutouts. Use the numbers 1 and 2 and the left/right cutouts to glue onto paper. Have the students find body parts and glue under 1 or 2, left/right.

You can also make photo cards using the magazine cutouts.
