Lesson flow
Children play a Face Slap warm-up touching named parts, sing face songs pointing to eyes, nose and mouth, and use mirrors for a point-and-say partner game. The second lesson reviews the song in pairs, plays a roleplay card game asking 'What's this?', and builds a monster or robot face gluing on cut-out features, finishing with a show-and-tell presentation.

Why this lesson works
The lesson follows a clear progression: Touch face parts in a Face Slap game, describe face parts using a mirror, build and present a monster/robot face craft. Teachers can open the materials and start immediately, while students move from supported vocabulary practice to purposeful spoken English.
