 * **Clipart -** Clipart for body/emergency vocab [[file:3.3B SMALL PICS.doc]]user:emilylewis
 * **Concrete Poetry** (taken from FLTeach) "draw the body using the words for the body .....write headheadheadheadhead in a continuous circle for the head etc....my kids
 * **Connect the Dots -** Here is an activity to practice body related vocab/emergency vocab -Connect the Dots with Body Related Vocab: [|3.3 Vocabulary Dot to Dot.doc] and the order of pictures: [|3.3 Dot to Dot Key.doc]user:emilylewis
 * **Crazy Creatures -**A body outline to use for labeling/drawing crazy creatures. [[file:[|Body Outline.doc]user:emilylewis
 * **Crime Scene to Fashion Zine**- Students lay on butcher paper and have a friend trace around them. Students then work in pairs to dress the "paper doll" version of themselves and label all the body parts and clothing. Later, students can write stories about the adventures of their flat, paper doll selves (like elementary students do with the Flat Stanley project.) user:chericem1
 * Another body outline (mix of a kindergarten file I found online and my own superior "draw" skills). Good warm-up activity or quiz review. [[file:EL CUERPO outline.doc]]user:decortem
 * **Monster Creation -** Here is an activity to create monsters once students have learned the body part vocabulary. [[file:3.3 ¡A crear monstrous!.doc]]user:emilylewis
 * **[|Monster Mash]**- Divide students into groups of 4-6 people. Have each student in the group write the names of 5 body parts in Spanish on small squares of paper. Have all group members put their squares into a bag, box, cup, or other container. Students roll a dice and the person with the highest number goes first. The student who is "it" pulls the number of square from the container that corresponds to the number on the dice and draws the body parts on their paper. The body parts must all connect. The dice is then passed to the next player. When time is called, the teacher collects all the monsters and then redistributes them randomly to the class. Students pair up and describe the monster they are holding to a partner (in the target language), who attempts to draw it. Students compare the drawing with the original to see how they did. user:chericem1
 * Monster Mash Revised- This is very inspired from the monster mash above. Students write a list of 12 body parts in the TL. In pairs, students roll dice, and according to their partners list, the student draws the body part based on the number on the dice that they rolled. (IE student A rolls a 6. student b says "la mano" because its the 6th item on his/her list, and student A draws that body part) To have more fun with it and get the students to really have some fun, I also said that the parts had to be connected. The students end up with crazy, alien/monster looking creatures. They really enjoyed it and used a lot of Spanish. (Both body parts and numbers)
 * **Picasso -**Blindfold several student volunteers. Stand each one facing the chalkboard and give them a piece of chalk. Have the remaining students in the class call out the names of body parts. Have the blindfolded "artists" try to draw the parts as best they can on the chalkboard. When time is called, remove the blindfolds and ask the artists to name or label all of the parts they have drawn user:chericem1
 * **Quiz -** A quiz about the parts of the body. [[file:body quiz.doc]]user:emilylewis
 * **Worksheet -** A worksheet in Spanish about the uses of body parts. [[file:Uses of body parts.doc]] user:emilylewis


 * **Dice Game for Faces-** I realized that my students needed a separate unit (or more time) on the parts of the face when we did body parts because they were overwhelmed with vocabulary. This is a simple dice game where they create a face by rolling dice that correspond to each body part. Separate students into groups of 3-4. Then, give them the instructions and allow them to play! I used a blank picture of a face for the students draw in, (used from a kindergarten book :) or you could have them create their own. When they are finished and there is a declared winner, you could have them color and label them. **OR, you can have the quality drawings draw arrows to certain body parts (without labels!),** so that you can keep them for review later! I love using student work (with permission) because it makes the job much easier for you![[file:CarasCartier.pdf]]user:cartierm
