👀 Head and face

Some body parts are on your head or face.

I have one mouth and many teeth.

🖐️ Arms, hands and legs

We use our hands to hold things and our legs to walk and run.

My hands are cold.
My left leg hurts after football.

👤 MY BODY

We can use possessive adjectives to say who a body part belongs to.
