10 Games and songs in English on the topic: human body (flash)

From the history and statistics of organ transplantation in the USA

In the United States, the first organ transplantation operation was performed in 1954 - a new kidney was transplanted into the patient. Since the 1970s, organ transplantation has become widespread. However, the demand for donor organs still exceeds supply.
According to the National Transplant Society, if in 1990 about 10 thousand kidneys were transplanted in the United States, then in 2005 their number increased to 13.7 thousand. Moreover, most of the increase comes from living donors who agree to donate their kidney. However, if in 1990 there were 17 thousand people waiting for a kidney transplant, by the beginning of 2006 there were already 65 thousand. Between 1990 and 2001, about 5 thousand Americans underwent a liver transplant procedure. According to Emory University, an American patient in need of a kidney transplant must wait on average more than 3 years for his turn. The average waiting time for a heart is about 7 months, for a liver – 2 years.
Economists from the University of Chicago and Stanford University have analyzed how the market for donor organs functions (their work is called "Introducing an Incentive System in the Market for Human Organs"). They note that from the point of view of economic analysis, it is quite difficult to follow the development of this market, since among all the countries in the world, only India (in the 1980-1990s) and Iran (in 1988) have legally allowed the payment of financial compensation to donors. Moreover, compensation was offered to both living donors and the families of deceased donors.
The researchers tried to build a model that would allow them to identify the price of human organs if market mechanisms were at work in this area. The hypothetical price for human organs is based on three main factors: decreased quality of life of the donor; probable deterioration of health, which in turn may lead to the death of the donor; as well as temporary or complete loss of performance. The main question is: “What kind of compensation can convince donors to voluntarily donate their organs?”
Naturally, as scientists note, the most important risk for donors is the risk of death, and therefore this factor is the most important component in the process of “pricing” in the human organ market.
The second factor is the donor's lost income as a result of the postoperative recovery process. This value is calculated by estimating lost opportunities.
An important factor to evaluate is the decrease in the quality of life of donors after surgery. Most people who donate a kidney are able to return to their normal routine after some time. Athletes are an exception, as intense exercise may pose a risk of damage to the remaining kidney.
By summing up the cost of compensation for all three factors, the authors arrive at an approximate price for a donor kidney – $15.2 thousand. The prices for the medical operation itself of organ transplantation in the United States are significantly higher than the price for human organs. In 2005, a kidney and liver transplant would cost patients $160 thousand and $335 thousand, respectively. These figures do not include the cost of purchasing the organs themselves, which are approximately $50,000 for a kidney and $57,000 for a liver. Researchers are confident that with the transition to a market system, prices for organs will decrease significantly and will approach the figure they calculated at $15.2 thousand.

Miss Polly had a dolly

Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick.
So she phoned for the doctor to come quick, quick, quick.
The doctor came with his bag and his hat,
And knocked at the door with a rat-a-tat-tat.

He looked at the dolly and shook his head,
And said "Miss Polly put her straight to bed.
He wrote a paper for a pill, pill, pill.
I"ll be back in the morning with the bill, bill, bill.

It is advisable for every modern person to know. Imagine that you are on vacation or on a business trip abroad, and during your vacation (work) health problems arise. It would be very advisable to explain to an English-speaking doctor exactly what and where it hurts. In general, there can be a lot of similar situations - on an airplane, in a store, in a hotel, on the beach, in a bar, in a restaurant...

Your solid knowledge of body parts in English can serve you and those around you who, for example, do not know the language, well. When going on a trip abroad, the ideal, of course, is to compose a short story about your illnesses and ailments, allergies, supplement it with the names of medications that usually help you, and memorize it. Or at least carry it with you. Teach your child these words (the basic ones, at least) so that he, too, can feel confident in an emergency. Of course, you won’t be able to learn all the parts of the body in English that you will find in the article right away. Start with the most basic ones (for example, remember how to pronounce eye in English, as it will be in English body, leg, arm, hair etc.), and then gradually memorize less commonly used words. Also, medical students and applicants to medical colleges and universities will need the names of body parts in English. This table will be useful to any Russian or Ukrainian teacher, because the topic: “Parts of the body in English” is studied in kindergarten, school, and university.

Head (English) head)

body (English) body)

Eye (English) eye)

Arm (from hand to shoulder, English) arm)

Hand (hand, English) hand)

leg (English) leg)

Every little resident wants to delve into the world of human life on earth as much as possible and as quickly as possible. Learning foreign languages ​​is an excellent way to introduce a child to the knowledge of living nature, which in the future can turn into a favorite hobby or an interesting profession. The topics of the lessons should expand your horizons, and the knowledge on them should be useful in the future. One of these is reviewing body parts in English for children.

Learning body parts in English with your baby using bright pictures

We study body parts in English together with the baby using transcription

We need to start the explanation with the fact that every person on earth has a body - body [‘bɔdi](transcription will be given in square brackets, which is necessary so that the student knows how to read a certain word). Note that the pronunciation of this word is “badi”, although it is written as “bodi”. It is necessary to carefully hint to the baby that the structure of a boy’s body is slightly different from a girl’s body, which is why guys are always stronger than their girlfriends. For general development, we can add that the science that studies human bodies is called anatomy. True, a lot depends on the age of the student, since he may not remember the difficult name.
The human body is conventionally divided into head, arms, legs and torso. Here it is appropriate to give an example of a simple image of a little man, familiar to everyone from deep childhood (stick, stick, cucumber - a little man came out). Another way to remember is a little rhyme:

You have 10 fingers,
You have 10 toes,
You have 2 eyes,
And you have 1 nose.

English songs for children about body parts

A song about body parts in English for children will help them not get bored and quickly learn new material. You should start studying from top to bottom, i.e. from the head - head . Its open side is called the face - face , on the crown (closed side) we grow hair hair , and ears are hidden under them on the sides.
Everyone has a forehead on the top of their face. forehead [‘fɔrid] , followed by eyebrows and eyes. Below in the center is the nose, and on the right and left sides are the cheeks cheeks [ʧi:k] . We have a mouth under our nose and a chin behind it. chin [ʧin] .
Brows - eyebrows [‘aibrau] consist of small hairs, and they help us express our state and emotions. May be dark brown eyebrows or light - blonde eyebrows .
Thanks to the eyes - eyes we see the world around us as it is, in all its bright colors. We have eyelashes on our eyes - eyelashes which protect them from dust and dirt. Basically, there are 3 eye colors:

• green – green eyes,
• brown – brown eyes,
• blue – blue eyes.

Nose - nose , perhaps the most important organ in humans, because thanks to it we can breathe. Mouth - mouth responsible for food intake. Externally, the oral cavity is under the “supervision” of the upper and lower lips - upper and lower lips .

Thanks to them, we learn to distinguish between cold and hot by touch. There are teeth inside - teeth (in an adult healthy person there are 32 of them), helping to chew food, and the tongue - tongue (needed then to verbally convey your thoughts to others).
It’s easy to remember by playing a simple game: the teacher points with his hand to a certain part of the head, and the children say this word out loud in English.
Hair protects our heads from the negative effects of the environment. Hair can be:

• dark and light - dark and blonde ,
• long, medium and short – long, medium and short ,
• white, black, light brown and red - blond, brunette, brown, red ,
• straight and curly - straight and curly.

Ears - ear are also considered one of the sense organs. They help us hear others. We remember thanks to the song:

My ears are very small.
Some ears are black as ink,
But my ears are pale and pink.

Next, the head is connected to the body through the neck - neck . It is attached to the shoulders - shoulders [ʃəuldə] . From them a person’s torso begins. On the front of the body are the rib cage - breast and belly stomach [‘stʌmək] , the back is occupied by the back - back .

Our arms grow from the shoulder joint hand - there are two of them. The place where the arm can bend is called the elbow - elbow [‘elbəu] . Through the wrist - wrist this part of the body connects to the hand and palm - palm . The hand consists of five fingers - fingers [‘fiŋgə] . People have ten fingers in total. Our hands allow us to realize everything we want, so we need to take care of them and strengthen them in every possible way.
A good riddle to remember:

I am a body part,
But I am not a knee,
I am found on your face,
I’m what you use to see.

Below, the torso connects to a particularly important part of the human body, from which the legs grow - leg , which, like hands, we also have two. The upper part of the leg is considered the thigh - thigh [θai] . The place where the legs can bend is usually called the knee or knees - knee . The lower part goes all the way to the foot and is called the lower leg - feet . The heels are on the foot - heels , and on the opposite side - toes - toes .

Body Parts

Body parts are the first thing a child feels on his skin, the first thing he wants to touch and what he wants to learn to control. When the baby is picked up by his mother, he feels her hands and clings to her. He looks at her face, studying its features. When he learns to control his hands, he begins to study first his fingers, then his legs, stomach, face, etc. He also touches and visually examines body parts and facial features of mom, dad and other loved ones.

Therefore, let's start learning nouns in English from body parts. They are easy to explain without translation; you can simply point to these body parts in yourself, your child, animals and toys.

• To use the materials correctly, please read
• To properly prepare your child for lessons, read
• Don't skip topics, do them sequentially. But it is possible and advisable to return to the topics covered periodically.
• To start each lesson off right, use language transition rituals. You can read about them in Introductory Lessons
• If you are just starting to learn this language yourself, then it will be useful for you to read

Quests

Tasks can be done in any order or combined with each other.

#1 The most important task in this topic

The most important thing for a child to learn in this topic is:

• construction This is... (It is...) / These are... (this is...)
• use of possessive pronouns my - my/my/my)
• forming the plural of nouns

An explanation of these structures can be found in the grammar reference.

Your task is to name your child’s body parts and his, as well as the body parts of his toys, with the appropriate pronouns.

Example:

1. Show on yourself:

• This is my leg (this is my leg)
• These are my legs (these are my legs)
• I raise my leg (I raise my leg)

2. Show on a male toy:

• This is his leg (this is his leg)
• These are his legs (these are his legs)
• He raises his legs (he raises his leg)

3. Show on a female toy:

• This is her leg (this is her leg)
• These are her legs (these are her legs)
• She raises her leg (she raises her leg)

4. Show on both toys:

• These are their legs (these are their legs)
• They raise their legs (they raise their legs)

5. Show on the child:

• This is your leg (this is your leg)
• These are your legs (this is your leg)
• You raise your leg (you raise your leg)

6. Show yourself and your child:

• These are our legs (these are our legs)
• We raise our legs (we raise our legs)

Repeat the same with other parts of the body. Make everything fun! Get active. Otherwise it will be a very boring task for the child.

№2

Tell your child phrases from the templates, combining different words. Speak whole phrases, not individual words (“It’s my hand,” and not just “hand”). Be sure to accompany your words with positive emotions and actions. Show your body parts, show your child's body parts, and show your toys' body parts. Encourage him to repeat the movements after you. Don't translate anything. Repeat each phrase several times. It is not necessary to use all the phrases and words in one lesson. One such task should last no more than 3 minutes, then end the lesson or move on to any other task. Use toys, make scenes and mini-dialogues with them.

Example of dialogue (when the toy speaks, change your voice and facial expressions, move the toy):

• — Touch my left hand
• - It is your left hand (toy or you show your left hand or the toy’s left hand)
• — Touch my right hand
• - It is your right hand(toy or you show your left hand or the left hand of the toy)

Then you turn to the child. If he doesn’t understand, then repeat this action with the toy.

№3

Look at pictures of people and animals (you can look at large family photos). It will be good if the pictures or photographs are funny or evoke positive memories in the child. Show parts of the body and face and name them. Repeat each phrase, look at the same pictures or photographs several times.

Example:

• This is a nose. (This nose)
• This is his hand (This his hand)
• This is my leg.(This my leg)
• This is your head.(This yours head)

№4

You can mold a man out of plasticine or draw it on paper, and then show his body parts. The person must be funny. Make it very thick and very large (call it He is big / He is small), very high and very low (He is tall / He is low), very thick and very thin (He is thick / He is thin). Sculpt a leg and attach it instead of a head, shake your head and attach it in place (Is it his head? Oh, no! It is his leg!). Any absurdity will amuse your child, and at the same time evoke in him the necessary associations for memorizing words.

№5

Read any verse to your child and perform the necessary movements according to the text. Show body parts according to the text in the rhyme. You can sing each verse to any melody. Repeat the poem several times at a time. Connect toys to the game. Let them also perform the movements, show their body parts.

You will find the poems below. Some verses are repeated from the previous topic. But this only makes the learning process easier for you and your child.

№6

Watch the video, sing along (at least only those words that you know) and perform the movements.

№7

Play the games listed at the end of this topic

New vocabulary

• You should know these new words before starting lessons with your child.
• You can learn words not all words at once, but in groups of 3-5 words, and gradually add them over several days
• The last column contains transcription in Russian letters as a hint, but please note thatRussian letters cannot convey all English sounds . In particular: interdental [s] and [z] (when written th), English [p], nasal [n] (when written ng) and special English vowels. Therefore, if you still do not read English well, be sure to first read )

Quick Grammar Help

For parents who are starting to learn a language or do not speak it well enough:

• You need to master the following grammar rules

1. Good news! Plural of nouns formed by simply adding the ending -s.

Bad news! Sometimes there are exceptions to this rule. But there are few of them, you just need to know them.

Exceptions to words in this topic: tooth/teeth - tooth/teeth, hair/hair - hear (no plural)

2. Good news! In fact, in English no concept of gender. Gender can only be determined by the context of the meaning of words in animate beings. Inanimate objects have no gender. Therefore, there is no need to decline pronouns and adjectives. Their forms never change, unlike the Russian language.

3. Bad news! In English, unlike Russian, there is a concept article. Articles are such service words that are used with nouns to give them a sign of definiteness or uncertainty. There are only 2 articles in English indefinite a (an - this form is used before nouns beginning with a vowel) and certain the .

• Indefinite article a (an) comes from the English word “one”, and literally means one of many. If you are naming an object for the first time that does not have any special features, then before the noun meaning this word you need to say a. For example, This is a hand (This is a hand, one of two), This is a finger (this is a finger, one of 10). Accordingly, this article is used only with singular nouns.
• Definite article the comes from the English word “that”, and literally means this one. If you highlight a specific object with certain characteristics, then the article the is used. For example, This is the left hand (This is the left hand, the left hand is one of a kind).

As can be seen from the examples, depending on the context, both articles can be used with the same nouns. If you are still confused and it is difficult for you to master this concept, which does not exist at all in your native Russian language, then you can use possessive pronouns before all parts of the body that you call your child, then there is no need to use articles.

Example: This is my hand. This is your hand. This is my left hand. This is your left hand.

3. In a sentence there must always be a verb. It is impossible to say in Russian without the verb “this is my hand.” In English it will literally sound “this is my hand” - “It is my hand”. Or “I am big” - “I am big” (literally “I am big”)

4. Auxiliary verb to be(be)used in the absence of a semantic verb (“this is my hand” - “It is my hand”). Ctense of the verb to be in the simple present tense:

• I am (abbreviated as I’m)
• You are (abbreviated You’re)
• He / she / it is (he’s / she’s / it’s
• We are (we're)
• They are (they're)

5. Auxiliary verb to do(do)used in interrogative sentences with a semantic verb (What are you showing me? - What do you show me?). Ctense of the verb to do in the simple present:

• I do
• You do
• He/she/it does
• We do
• They do

6. Word order in a question sentence: strict, words cannot be interchanged. If you leave the word order as in an affirmative sentence and use only interrogative intonation, then the phrase will express surprise, not a question. The Englishman will not understand that you are asking him, he will think that you are simply surprised by some fact.

6.1 Question of clarification or about the ownership of an item:

1. auxiliary verb
2. subject
3. the rest of the sentence

Example: is this your hand? - Is it your hand?

6.2. a question with a question word, but without a semantic verb:

1. question word
2. auxiliary verb
3. subject
4. the rest of the sentence

Example: Where is your hand? - Where is your hand?

6.3. Question with a question word and a semantic verb:

1. question word
2. auxiliary verb
3. subject
4. semantic verb
5. the rest of the sentence

Example: What are you showing me? - What do you show me?

Practice each version of the question separately. For each lesson with the child, one version of the question to reinforce the material. Each time, through each option, run the maximum number of combinations of verbs and nouns already known to you.

7. Features of the question “how much”

• how many- used when asking about something that can be counted individually: how many hands do you have? How many hands do you have?
• how much- is used when it is impossible to count individually, but you can say a lot or a little: how much time do you have (a piece can only be hours or minutes, but there cannot be one or two times, only a little or a lot)? - How much tume do you have? how much money do you have (each piece can only be rubles or dollars, but there can’t be one or two pieces of money, just a little or a lot)? - How much money do you have?

8. Conjugation of the verb to have(to have) in simple present tense:

• I have
• You have
• He/she/it has
• We have
• They have

Phrases templates

• You must master these phrase patterns and try to combine, following their example, all the words from the list of new vocabulary
• You may not use all the phrases at once, but gradually add phrases with new grammatical structures (for example, first simple affirmative sentences in the first and second person, then adding the third person, then questions without question words, and then questions with question words). While you are mastering one grammatical structure, pass all new words through it in a game with your child so that the grammatical structure is remembered by you.
• If your child already knows how to count, then you can introduce counting during this lesson. Count your hands, feet, eyes, ears, etc. (one - one [uan], two - two [tu], three - three [sri], four - four [fo], five-five [five], six - six [sis], seven - seven [seven], eight - eight [eit], nine -nine [nain], ten - ten [ten]). If your child does not yet know how to count, then do not use numbers in classes yet.

CARDS

You can show these cards to your child while learning the corresponding words. Cards can be displayed electronically or printed and cut.

ADVICE! Cards should only be used to consolidate knowledge of new words. Don't start learning words from flashcards. You should start learning words in context with other already known words.

• What is it? - What is this?
• What do I show you? - What am I showing you?
• Is it nose or eye? - Is it a nose or an eye?

Games on this theme

1. If the child has already mastered words and can name them, then show the body parts and ask them to name them in English.

What do I show you? What am I showing you

If the child only understands the words, but does not yet pronounce them, then name the parts of the body and ask him to show them.

Show me your left leg. Show me your left hand.

If he makes a mistake, he must complete some funny task. If he guesses correctly, then you perform the funny task (for example, crow, croak, etc.)

It turns out that very little is needed to teach a child what parts of the body are called in English.

First, we choose which words we need

Eye - eye - - [ay];
Nose - nose - - [nose];
Mouth - mouth - - [mouse];
Cheek - cheek - - [chi:k];
Eyebrow - eyebrow - [ˈaɪbrau] - [aybrau];
Eyelash - eyelash - [ˈaɪlæʃ] - [ˈaylash];
Beard - beard - – [beed];
Language - tongue - - [tang];
Forehead - forehead - [ˈfɔrɪd] - [ˈphorid];
Ear - ear - [ɪə] - [ie];
Neck - neck - - [neck];
Shoulder – shoulder - [ˈʃəuldə] - [ˈsheulde];
Finger – finger - [ˈfɪŋɡə] - [ˈfinge];
Belly – stomach - [ˈstʌmək] - [ˈstamek];
Knee - knee - - [niː];
Waist - waist - - [waist];
Back - back - - [back].

Now we need to make the process of learning English words interesting and vibrant for the child.

What needs to be done for a child to remember “Parts of the Body” in English?

1. Show each part of the body on yourself, and then on the baby. It’s better to start with the face, learning 3-4 names, then adding 2-3 new words each time.

2. If the child remembers the words, move on to simple sentences:
- It’s a nose (touch your nose).
What's this? -It’s a nose. (touch baby's nose)

It’s a mouth (outline the mouth without touching).
These are eyes (we touch our eyes, then the baby’s).
There are ears. (touch the ears) One ear, two ear.

3. Play a fun game of “Who’s the fastest?”
- Touch your eyes!
- Touch your mouth!
— Touch your ears!
Repeat faster and faster each time. True, only if the baby is no longer confused.

4. Let’s complicate the game and call it “Confusion.”
-Touch your nose. (touch eyes)
Touch your eyes. (touch nose)

If the baby has mastered the words, give him the opportunity to be a commander. Let him give orders, and you carry them out.

5. In parallel with these games, it would be nice to gradually learn the song “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”, which will help you easily learn some “Body Parts” in English

7. Watch videos and cartoons in English on the topic “Parts of the Body”, which will help you understand the correct pronunciation of words:
