Arthur books are really common and most kids enjoy them. I also think it's fun that they used a french song to add to the lesson. Stories as well as music/singing are very effective tools for teaching students! Not to mention when you add physical movements into the mix. Children love to move around, and in my opinion there should be more hands-on activities in the classrooms. When you add physical responses to lessons, the children will pick it up quickly and it will engage them in the lesson.
I think this is especially a good idea for learning the parts of the body. This is knowledge every kid can relate too because they all have the body parts, it only makes sense to add a physical response so that they children can quickly learn the vocabulary. They also used visual tools, very important for language. They used the vocab words to label parts of the body on a large drawing that everyone could see. Great lesson!
