• Role play doctor/client scenarios with the doctor asking, "How's your ?"
• Introduce common instructions that the doctor would say such as, lift your arm, turn your head, bend your finger, etc. Practice these instructions orally and ask learners to do the action. Write these instructions on a card, show the card to learners and ask learners to do these actions.
