School and the Body Unit for Kindergarten ESL

 This resource is included in The Body unit for Kindergarten-English Series #11. Link:https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Body-Unit-for-Kindergarten-Holistic-English-Series-11-6416731

The school objects have a body! Well, it is a review resource. By integrating these two themes, you can create activities that help students make connections between the vocabulary taught in a previous unit and the new one.

Start by printing the vocabulary Flashcards to be used as Visual Aids. The flashcards come with pictures of common school objects (e.g., pencil, eraser, marker, scissors, glue, crayon, pencil case). Each card is labeled with the object's name in English. Prepare Interactive Practice games and activities.


Using flashcards encourages active participation. Have the students label the parts of the body of any classroom object. Labels help students connect the written body part word with the image, reinforcing the association between them.

Encouraging students to point to the body parts in each flashcard engages their kinesthetic learning style. Regularly pointing to and naming body parts on flashcards helps solidify vocabulary in students' minds.


Adjective Activity. Divide a flashcard in two. Label one side of the flashcard with "left" and the other with right. Have the students help label the corresponding body part (e.g., "left hand"), and another set with "right" and the corresponding body part (e.g., "right hand").


Cut several flashcards into sections (e.g., head, torso, legs) to create puzzles to enhance their problem-solving skills. Students will mix and match the pieces to form a complete body.

The small cards can be used as puppets for actions and role-play to engage with students’ kinesthetic learning styles.


Find all the school objects as worksheets with an outline of an item with body parts to label on a separate paper using the cut-out labels provided. Students cut out the labels and paste them next to the correct body parts on the outline.

Vocabulary worksheets to turn into cards to create several fun activities.


Players communicate with each other during gameplay with the printable board, practicing speaking and listening skills in a relaxed environment. I used mini erasers as markers.


Memory card games require players to remember the location of matching pairs of cards. This strengthens children's ability to recall information, which is essential for learning new vocabulary and concepts. Players may need to construct sentences when discussing the cards they flip over ("a glue person and a glue person, a match."). This activity promotes sentence formation and grammatical accuracy.
