El cuerpo

Today we continued practicing the family and the parts of the house.

Next week we will move on to the parts of the body.

In preparation for class, please practice some of the main parts of the body by watching these videos and doing the interactive activities in the links below.

I do not particularly care if you know ALL the parts. However, see how many you can learn and memorize for class

Play the videos and online activities as many times as you need to. Remember that in learning repetition can be helpful and that hearing them once may not be enough for you to remember.



THE FACE

VIDEO: The face




You can find an interactive activity to learn the face here  and an interactive game here.


THE BODY

The song in the video below is a fun way to learn and remember las partes del cuerpo (the parts of the body). Remember, you do not need to learn all of them, though.  Parts of the song you need to know:

Las partes del cuerpo         The parts of the body,
vamos a cantar                  we are going to sing,
y tú                                    and you,
las tienes que tocar            have to touch them


Las partes de la cara          the parts of the face

Empezamos otra vez          we start again.

Y no empezamos otra vez   and we do not start again.
