Try out the characters above, or if you want individual parts have a look at: nose, ears, mouth, eyes, eyebrows, cheeks, hair, tongue

Face parts are always popular with the kids, and around New Year there's a "make a face" game called "fukuwarai" that is very popular in Japan. So with the help of this song the kids should be able to do it all in English!

How to teach ....

This is a song in the new "easy to teach" style, so you simply sing a line and the kids repeat after you. To make sure they remember the words you touch the appropriate part of your face whilst singing. Very simple!

Thanks to the "Heads & Shoulders" song, the kids should already know the words in the first verse. What this song should really help out with are the other words such as "eyebrows" which can sometimes prove a bit tricky.

To spice things up a bit you can also pull a funny face after each line of the chorus, guaranteed to get the kids laughing.

Once you've done the song a few times, have a look at the "Make a Face" game.

If you don't want to do a big game on the board, I've also recorded a "Draw a face" version. This time the kids will draw their own faces on a piece of paper after doing the song, something like in the "Monster Drawing Game". Or they can draw the face parts in the air in front of them.

In the following lessons the "Mr Octopus" song is a great way to review these words, and there are more body parts in the "Doctor, Doctor" song.

Anyway, this song is really easy to teach and is lots of fun, so enjoy!

Be genki,

Richard
