Lesson flow
Children play a Simon Says-style warm-up pointing to face parts, then sing along to a face song while pointing to eyes, nose, mouth and ears. They draw and label a face on a worksheet, then count facial features together. In the second lesson, children draw a silly monster face and describe it ('My monster has 3 eyes!'), finishing with an optional mirror game naming their own features.
