Tell a story to the whole class. Tell it with plenty of gestures and actions, which you repeat.
The story will be a tool for teaching meaning, you should really focus on key phrases you want to teach the class, not the story itself.
In teaching parts of the body, you might employ a tale and each time you talk about the many wonderful things the main character sees, eats or touch with different parts of the body, you emphasize the target word or phrase and set a movement for each part of the body, ss should repeat the movement as they listen to the word.
e.i. "I use my eyes to see the sky" ( ss point to their eyes and form like binoculars pretending to see the sky)
As a comprehension check, you can point to a different part of the body and see if your students try to correct you.
