**Materials Needed:**
- Chart paper or whiteboard

**Duration:** 1 hour

**Lesson Plan:**
**1. Introduction (10 minutes)**
- **Greeting and Warm-up:**
- Begin with a friendly greeting to the students.
- Sing an action song or rhyme related to body parts to engage them (e.g., "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes").
- **Introduction to the Topic:**
- Show a large drawing or diagram of the human body.
- Explain that today we will learn about the different parts of the body and what they do.
**2. Main Activity (30 minutes)**
- **Labeling Activity:**
- Use the drawing/diagram of the human body.
- Start labeling the body parts (head, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, feet, ears, eyes, nose, mouth).
- Ask for volunteers to come up and place stickers or labels on the diagram as you name each part.
- **Discussion:**
- Briefly explain the function of each part. For example, "We use our eyes to see," or "Our legs help us to walk and run."
- Encourage students to touch their own body parts as they are mentioned to reinforce learning.
- **Interactive Game:**
- Play a game of "Simon Says" using body parts. For example, "Simon says touch your nose," or "Simon says wiggle your fingers."
**3. Hands-On Activity (15 minutes)**
- **Craft Activity:**
- Provide students with a simple outline of a human body.
- Give them pre-cut pictures or stickers of body parts (or let them draw their own if time permits).
- Instruct them to glue the body parts in the correct places on the outline.
- Walk around and assist as needed.
**4. Review and Wrap-Up (5 minutes)**
- **Recap:**
- Gather the students and ask a few questions to review what they learned.
- Use the diagram again and ask students to name the body parts without your help.
- **Q&A Session:**
- Allow students to ask any questions they might have about the body parts.
- **Closing:**
- End the lesson with another fun action song or rhyme.
- Praise the students for their participation and effort.
**Assessment:**
- Observe students during activities to ensure they can correctly identify and name body parts.
- Review their craft activity to check if they have placed the body parts correctly.
**Homework/Extension (Optional):**
- Give students a simple worksheet where they can colour and label the body parts, or ask them to draw and label their own body at home.
- Encourage parents to review body parts with their children at home.

**Note to Teacher:**
- Ensure the lesson is interactive and supportive. Positive reinforcement will help engage young students.
- Be prepared for varying levels of familiarity with body parts and provide additional support as needed.
