Vocabulary associated with body parts list dictation
action words, collocations and body idioms
Without looking below, listen and guess which body part all the things you hear are connected to. Don’t guess too soon, because you only get one chance per body part.
When your teacher stops the guessing game, try to fit the missing body parts into the places with the stars.

Test each other in pairs, starting with the most difficult examples to guess from (but only the ones that you understand!)
Without looking at the list, do the same with your own ideas.
