BODY PARTS
(40 WORD TO PRACTICE)
About the Topic: Body Parts
The human body has many different parts, and each one has a special function. Learning the names of body parts helps students talk about themselves, describe people, and understand simple health or daily life conversations.
We use our head to think, our eyes to see, our ears to hear, our nose to smell, and our mouth to speak and eat. We can also smile, laugh, and sing with our mouth. We use our hands and arms to hold things and our legs and feet to walk, run, or jump.
Knowing body part words is very useful in everyday life. For example, at the doctor’s office, we may say “My head hurts” or “I have pain in my leg.” In the classroom, students can also play songs or games like “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” to learn easily.
Learning body parts helps students understand their world better and express their feelings or needs in English.

Benefits of the BoomWords Game
The BoomWords Game makes learning about body parts fun and active! The teacher says “Body Parts!” and students take turns saying one word — “head,” “hand,” “eye,” “foot,” and so on. If a student repeats a word or forgets, they say “Boom!” and sit down.
This game helps students:
Remember body vocabulary quickly.
Practice pronunciation and listening skills.
Improve memory through repetition.
Learn by speaking and moving together.
Teachers can make the activity even better by adding actions — for example, touching the part they say: “Head!” (touch head), “Arm!” (touch arm). This makes it easier and more enjoyable for young learners.
