Also I don't know how old are the kids you teach but for the "body" part you can add : to carry and to feed babies

mouth-to smile at a stranger/sad person

eyes-to look in the siddur during davening; to look at the havdalah candle

Feet-to run to shul; dance on Simchas Torah; run to do mitzvos

Very nice idea.

I am truly intrigued by the thought of doing a mitzva with each body part ...

hands: covering eyes to say שמע ... holding the door open or helping someone carry a heavy load / to pick up & soothe a crying child

heart: for ahavas yisroel ... but I see someone else thought of that too

brain: to guide our thoughts to do the right thing

voice: for hakoras hatov
