Body Parts PowerPoint for Teaching Kids and Beginner ESL Learners
This body parts PowerPoint is perfect for teaching basic body vocabulary to kids or beginner English learners. It introduces 20 common body parts using colorful pictures and wraps up with a simple guessing game to help students review. You can use this PPT as a standalone mini-lesson or to support other activities in your unit.
Inside this Body Parts PPT
This PowerPoint lesson includes 20 slides that introduce common body part vocabulary with large, colorful pictures and simple English labels. Each body part appears on its own slide to keep things clear and easy for kids to follow.
The vocabulary covered includes: eye, ear, mouth, nose, head, shoulder, arm, hand, finger, leg, foot, toe, hair, knee, wrist, neck, back, eyebrow, nail, and forehead.
After the vocabulary section, there’s a built-in guessing game in which the images are hidden behind colored shapes. Students must guess the name of the body part before the full picture is revealed.
How to Use This Body Parts PowerPoint in Class
Before opening the PowerPoint, ask students what body part names they already know. This activates their existing knowledge and gets them thinking about the topic.
Next, open the PowerPoint and work through each slide one by one. On each slide, students will see the picture first, and the word will appear only when you click. When showing the image, ask students to guess what body part it is. Then reveal the word and have them repeat it after you.
After practicing a few times, get students moving by saying things like “Touch your nose” or “Touch your knees” to help them connect the new words with their own bodies. You can also play a quick game of Simon Says at this point to make it more interactive.
Finally, review all the vocabulary with the guessing game at the end of the PowerPoint. In this activity, each picture is hidden behind colored shapes, and students must guess the body part before it’s fully revealed.
