Parts of the body and shapes

This project I called production. I asked each of my students to bring a shoe box to make a robot. I wanted to practice not only parts of the body, but also shapes, a content that they had previously learnt. Before the class, I cut circles, squares, triangles, rectangles and ovals so that they could be the  parts of the robot's body. We practiced the vocabulary and they started making their robots. When they finished, they were to write the parts of their robots.

Parts of the body II

Still practicing the parts of the body...

My second graders drew a monster...

I took a picture of the monsters they drew using my iPad. Then, I projected the images on the board so that they could present their monsters... They had to say:

This is my monster. His / her name is... He /she has... heads, ears...

 

They loved seeing their monsters on the big screen!

Simple and very effective!

Mr. Potato Head

I had to teach parts of the body for my second graders... I started searching for projects  on Pinterest,where I saw a post in which the teacher drew the parts of the famous mister and used it to review for the parts of the body. Using my magic trick ( I used a magic trick of mine, which is project the image on the board and just trace it on a hard sheet of paper and cut. Here is the result...

After some drilling, I gave the students the parts of the Potato Head so that they had to come and put them in the correct place... Students simply loved it!
