The body unit worksheets will actively engage your students by requiring them to apply what they have learned in the unit.

Repeatedly answering questions about the body parts helps reinforce knowledge of the new vocabulary and will improve retention using these worksheets.

Teachers can assess students' understanding and identify areas where they need more help using the basic vocabulary worksheets. This aim is to complete the vowel and match the body words.

I love to have diverse activities worksheets for the diverse students in class who have different learning styles. This set comes in two parts, one is a basic match and the other is to complete how the body parts are related to many verbs that perform an action.

The cute monsters can be adapted to different age groups and tailored to their learning level, making them useful for differentiated instruction. Play Guess Who? With pairs or have students fill in the worksheet by identifying the Monsters in each category.

There is a set of sorting the monster by cutting and pasting in the corresponding category.

The worksheets can have your students work at their own pace, such as matching and then cutting and pasting the corresponding phrase. It is a good practice of imperatives with the body vocabulary.

Many Worksheets often include activities that promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Any worksheet can be used to write a short physical description of a character or person.

Some grammar. Change negative sentnces to affirmative according to the physical body types.

Promote reading skills and assemble a book using the worksheet by putting the paragraph next to each picture.
