Learning Parts of the body in Tagalog
We will be learning about the parts of the body in Tagalog for the next couple of weeks. Here is a modified “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” to kick off this unit. Watch, learn, and sing along with us!
- We created printable flash cards that you and your child can use to learn the 24 parts of the body in Tagalog. It comes with picture flashcards and 3 sets of cards to play memory while practicing the body parts in Tagalog and English.
Make an easy reader Tagalog book of your child 
What better way to teach your child about the parts of the body than with their own body? Incorporate your child in a Tagalog booklet with pictures of their body parts.
Step 1: Print the “Aking Katawan (My Body)” Tagalog booklet (which can be found in our subscriber Tagalog Printables Resource library – Log in here if you are a subscriber or Sign up here for free
Step 2: Take pictures of the corresponding body parts in the booklet. 
Step 3: Print or develop the pictures
Step 4: Glue the corresponding pictures on to the pages
Step 4: Your child can decorate the book with whatever medium they prefer (crayons, colored pencils, markers, paint, stickers, etc.). We purposely left the design simple and basic to allow each child to make the booklet their own and put their own creative twist to it. So whether they just add a picture and leave it black and white, or add more detail, is completely up to him or her.
Step 5: Read, learn Tagalog for many of the body parts, and enjoy!
(Optional):
To make the book more durable and last longer, we decided to mount the pages on construction paper, laminate them, bind them, as shown below:
