Lesson Presentation (Step-by-Step Procedure)

Step 1: Introduction

• Start with a fun song or game that involves moving different body parts. Ask pupils to touch their toes, stretch their arms, or wiggle their fingers.

Step 2: Explanation

• Explain that our body is made up of different parts that can move in various ways. Use simple language and relate movements to everyday activities like playing and dressing up.

Step 3: Demonstration

• Use charts to show different body parts and demonstrate their movements. For example, show a chart of an arm and demonstrate how it can bend and stretch.

Step 4: Guided Practice

• Give each pupil a flashcard with a body part name and ask them to demonstrate its movement. Guide them through the correct movements and encourage participation.

Step 5: Independent Practice

• Have pupils pair up and take turns demonstrating movements for different body parts. One pupil names a body part, and the other shows its movement.

Step 6: Feedback

• Observe the pairs and provide feedback on their movements. Praise correct movements and gently correct any mistakes. Reinforce the importance of moving their body parts.

Evaluation

Formative Assessment:

• Ask questions throughout the lesson to check for understanding.
• Observe pupils during guided practice to ensure they are correctly demonstrating movements.

Summative Assessment:

• Review their performance in pairs for understanding and application of the concepts.

Summary/Conclusion
