๐Ÿ“– From the teacher’s desk: At my son’s crรจche in Saint-Pierre, the teachers use “Simon Says” in French every morning โ€” “Simon dit: touchez votre nez!” I now play the same game in English at home. Body part lessons with Total Physical Response (TPR) are magical: children learn faster when their whole body is involved.

๐ŸŽฏ By the end of this lesson, you can: point to and name 10 body parts in English.
