In this video, I show you one of my favorite ESL warm up songs for teaching parts of the body—because music + movement is a powerful combo for language development. When I’m working with young learners (and honestly, even older students who need a confidence boost), I lean on simple songs with clear, repetitive lyrics and strong TPR. That repetition helps students lock in vocabulary, practice pronunciation, and build fluency without feeling like they’re “doing work.” I also talk about why warm-up songs are more than just a fun opener. They set the tone, build classroom community, and give your ELLs a low-stress way to hear English patterns again and again. You can use this as an ESL kindergarten warm up, a primary ESL warmer, or even as an online teaching warmer—just keep the routine consistent and make the motions big and clear. My biggest takeaway: if you want students to remember body parts (and actually use the words), pair the vocabulary with movement, rhythm, and lots of joyful repetition.
