📋 How to Play

Clear a space in the classroom so children can move freely.
Tell children: "When the music plays, dance around. When it stops, freeze!"
Play music and let children dance for 10-15 seconds.
Stop the music and shout a body part — for example: "NOSE!"
Children must freeze and touch their nose.
Anyone who touches the wrong body part or keeps moving sits down for one round.
Keep playing until one child is left standing — they are the winner!
For younger children, play without elimination — just touch and repeat together.

✓Start slow and speed up as children get more confident.

✓Use this game to review body parts vocabulary from the lesson.

✓Let a child be the "caller" once they know the words well.

✓Play music children enjoy — familiar songs work best.

→Use colours instead of body parts — "Touch something RED!"

→Use classroom objects — "Touch your CHAIR!"

→Use animal sounds instead of calling words — children identify the body part from a clue.
