   discuss ways you can use the word bump.


3. [Show Poster 4M (Bump).] Which picture on the poster shows how the
   word bumps is used in the lesson?

   knock against something. Which picture shows this?


5. Bump can also mean something that swells up on your body when
   you are hurt. Which picture shows this?

7. Now quiz your partner on the different meanings of bump. For
   example you could say, “I bumped into Carlos while I was running
   during recess. Which bump am I?” And your partner should point to
   the bumper cars to show you that you meant that kind of bump.
