Additional Activities 
 
Face Race 1:
Run and slap (or run and draw) a face. Divide the class into two equal teams. Give 
each team member a number, so that there are two students with the number „1‟, two 
students with the number „2‟, etc. Call out a part of the face and a number. The students 
with the number that you called out have to slap (or draw) and say the part of the face 
that you said. 10-15 minutes. 
Face Race 2:
Write the numbers 1-6 on the board and assign one of these body parts to each of 
the numbers: eye, ear, mouth, nose, hair, and eye brow. Give the each student a piece of 
paper and tell them to write their name on one side and a face (an oval) on the other side. 
Divide the class into two teams. Each team takes turns at rolling the die. They get to draw 
the face part that corresponds to the number that was thrown. For example, if you 
assigned “eyes” to the number 1 and one team rolls a 1, then that team can draw eyes. 
They game keeps going until both teams have drawn a complete face. 10 – 15 minutes. 
 
Hokey-Pokey
 
You put your right foot in: you put your right foot out, 
You put your right foot in and you shake it all about. 
You do the Hokey-Pokey, and you turn yourself around. 
That's what it's all about.

Sing:

Musical Chairs Body Parts 
Have everyone form a big circle of chairs with the chairs facing outward. Remove one 
chair. Have music ready. When the music starts everyone must walk around the chairs 
(again it's fun if you make them jog). When the music stops, a caller yells out a body part. 
Then everyone races to touch that body part to a chair, one person per chair only. If they 
touch a chair before the body part is called, they are out. The one person who doesn't get 
a chair is also out. To speed it up, you can remove more chairs. We usually start out 
simple - nose, hair, left elbow, etc. but towards the end we get more complicated - your 
bare feet, someone else's left hand (they must grab one of the people who are already 
out). The object is to be the last one left.
