Objectives: To review parts of the body/learn some new parts of the body, to celebrate Halloween by using those body parts to draw monsters (while practicing listening). Students also learn about Halloween in America.
First, students are given copies of the following diagram (larger size). They work in groups to fill it in as best they can, and then the activity is completed as a class. Students practice pronunciation drills of the new words, with special attention paid to the “TH” sound in “thigh” and “mouth” and the long vowels of “shoulder” and “waist.”
Second, class discusses American Halloween customs and traditions. New vocabulary: ghost, witch, monster, trick or treat.
Then, teacher shows a picture of a monster, and ask students to describe the monster using body part words, eg. He has three heads, he has a blue nose, he has twelve red fingers.
Finally, teacher tapes a large sheet of butcher paper to the board and volunteers come up one at a time to draw a monster according to a given description, e.g. “draw a black mouth with six yellow teeth.”
The resulting monsters were really cute. Each class’s monster was pasted to the back board for all the classes to enjoy.
