How can children remember body parts without difficulty?
Memorizing new words is difficult, but if you approach this process correctly, you can greatly simplify the task. In addition, it is well known that children pick up foreign languages on the fly, especially since English is not the most difficult of languages. The main thing is that the learning process is interesting for your child. The English language should not evoke bad associations in children, such as: “I won’t go for a walk again until I learn 10 new words,” or “It’s starting... this boring English again.” He himself must be interested in the language. To do this, you must make your classes more colorful and varied: use fairy tales, cartoons, videos, songs, games, etc.
Another tip: reinforce the material covered, even if your young student remembers it well. He will be pleased to realize that he already has some knowledge and results, and this will increase his self-esteem and self-confidence. If the topic was poorly understood, then you will return to it again, and it will finally take a strong position in the child’s memory
Now, regarding our topic today, we’ll find out how to learn and consolidate new material.
To begin with, the child must remember the parts of the body, for this I suggest:
Watching visual video lessons and online games
Check out three interesting lessons on this topic.
In order to test and consolidate the acquired knowledge, you can find a lot of tasks that will not be a burden for children, but rather entertaining.
You can do the following exercise. Save the picture and ask your child to write the number and name of the body part on a piece of paper, then check the correct answer.
1.hair; 2. forehead; 3.eyebrow; 4.eyelash; 5.eye; 6.ear; 7. nose; 8. cheek; 9.mouth; 10. chin; 11. neck; 12.shoulder; 13. chest; 14.arm; 15. elbow; 16.hand; 17.finger; 18. stomach; 19. hip; 20. leg; 21. knee; 22.food; 23.heel; 24.toe.
Happy exploring!
We do exercises and teach body parts:
As the child begins to learn about the world around him, he learns many basic words. His picture of the world immediately becomes brighter and richer. Likewise, when learning a foreign language, you need to increase your vocabulary using basic words. It is these basic words that include body parts in English. The names of body parts can be useful both in everyday speech and when reading fiction and specialized literature. Body parts in English is an important topic for children too. In addition, the entire arsenal of names of body parts in English can be useful in an emergency situation.

Video about body parts for children and adults in English:
Every little resident wants to delve into the world of human life on earth as much as possible and as quickly as possible. Learning foreign languages is an excellent way to introduce a child to the knowledge of living nature, which in the future can turn into a favorite hobby or an interesting profession. The topics of the lessons should expand your horizons, and the knowledge on them should be useful in the future. One of these is reviewing body parts in English for children.
It is best to start a story about the human structure with the help of a simple drawing or a small layout (Fig. 1)
Learning body parts in English with your baby using bright pictures
We study body parts in English together with the baby using transcription
We need to start the explanation with the fact that every person on earth has a body - body [‘bɔdi](a transcription will be given in square brackets, which is needed so that the student knows how to read a certain word). Note that the pronunciation of this word is “badi”, although it is written as “bodi”. It is necessary to carefully hint to the baby that the structure of a boy’s body is slightly different from a girl’s body, which is why guys are always stronger than their girlfriends. For general development, we can add that the science that studies human bodies is called anatomy. True, a lot depends on the age of the student, since he may not remember the difficult name.
The human body is conventionally divided into head, arms, legs and torso. Here it is appropriate to give an example of a simple image of a little man, familiar to everyone from deep childhood (stick, stick, cucumber - a little man came out). Another way to remember is a little rhyme:
You have 10 fingers,
You have 10 toes,
You have 2 eyes,
And you have 1 nose.
English songs for children about body parts
A song about body parts in English for children will help them not get bored and quickly learn new material. You should start studying from top to bottom, i.e. from the head - head
. Its open side is called the face - face
, on the crown (closed side) we grow hair hair
, and ears are hidden under them on the sides.
Everyone has a forehead on the top of their face. forehead [‘fɔrid]
, followed by eyebrows and eyes. Below in the center is the nose, and on the right and left sides are the cheeks cheeks [ʧi:k]
. We have a mouth under our nose and a chin behind it. chin [ʧin]
.
Brows - eyebrows [‘aibrau]
consist of small hairs, and they help us express our state and emotions. May be dark brown eyebrows
or light - blonde eyebrows
.
Thanks to the eyes - eyes
we see the world around us as it is, in all its bright colors. We have eyelashes on our eyes - eyelashes which protect them from dust and dirt. Basically, there are 3 eye colors:
- green – green eyes,
- brown – brown eyes,
- blue – blue eyes.
Nose - nose , perhaps the most important organ in humans, because thanks to it we can breathe. Mouth - mouth responsible for food intake. Externally, the oral cavity is under the “supervision” of the upper and lower lips - upper and lower lips .
Thanks to them, we learn to distinguish between cold and hot by touch. There are teeth inside - teeth
(in an adult healthy person there are 32 of them), helping to chew food, and the tongue - tongue
(needed then to verbally convey your thoughts to others).
It’s easy to remember by playing a simple game: the teacher points with his hand to a certain part of the head, and the children say this word out loud in English.
Hair protects our heads from the negative effects of the environment. Hair can be:
- dark and light - dark and blonde ,
- long, medium and short – long, medium and short ,
- white, black, blond and red - blond, brunette, brown, red ,
- straight and curly - straight and curly.
Ears - ear are also considered one of the sense organs. They help us hear others. We remember thanks to the song:
Your ears are very tall,
My ears are very small.
Some ears are black as ink,
But my ears are pale and pink.
Next, the head is connected to the body through the neck - neck
. It is attached to the shoulders - shoulders [ʃəuldə]
. From them a person’s torso begins. On the front of the body are the rib cage - breast
and belly stomach [‘stʌmək]
, the back is occupied by the back - back
.
This video explains it clearly and colorfully:
Our arms grow from the shoulder joint hand
- there are two of them. The place where the arm can bend is called the elbow - elbow [‘elbəu]
. Through the wrist - wrist
this part of the body connects to the hand and palm - palm
. The hand consists of five fingers - fingers [‘fiŋgə]
. People have ten fingers in total. Our hands allow us to realize everything we want, so we need to take care of them and strengthen them in every possible way.
A good riddle to remember:
I am a body part,
But I am not a knee,
I am found on your face,
I’m what you use to see.
Below, the torso connects to a particularly important part of the human body, from which the legs grow - leg , which, like hands, we also have two. The upper part of the leg is considered the thigh - thigh [θai] . The place where the legs can bend is usually called the knee or knees - knee . The lower part goes all the way to the foot and is called the lower leg - feet . The heels are on the foot - heels , and on the opposite side - toes - toes . There are five toes on each foot, so humans have ten toes in total.

An excellent exercise for memorizing body parts and new English vocabulary for your baby will be the following. Show your child this picture and fill out the captions for the images together.
Do an exercise with your child to memorize human body parts in English
A good example of memorizing body parts is a game in which a student asks someone else a specific part, and he tries to guess its translation by asking questions based on “yes” or “no” answers.
It is not without reason that they say that in a healthy body there is a healthy mind. We recommend that children constantly take care of the health and cleanliness of their bodies, exercise, choose active games and spend more time in the fresh air. You can find more information about body parts in English for children in the relevant literature or among online sources. Basic knowledge will definitely be useful to the young talent in biology lessons. Learning body parts in English for children and other vocabulary is fun and easy with EnglishGood courses. We invite all children to our classes to learn a foreign language in an interesting way!
Let's talk a little about our body. Have you often mentioned your own or other people's body parts in everyday conversation? How often have you seen a description of a person in a book? It’s not easy to immediately remember how to pronounce, for example, nape orHow to spell eye in English.
The topic of the human body is very broad, because it includes not only parts of the body, but also parts of the face, arms, legs and even internal organs. We hope that you will not find yourself in a situation where you need medical assistance while on vacation abroad and will need to describe what happened and “where it hurts.” But if this does happen, this knowledge can save the life of you or your friend.
From this article you will learn what everything is calledhuman body parts in English. This will help you not only describe yourself or another person, but also in many other situations: at a doctor's appointment, in a beauty salon, and so on.
Before going into detailbody parts in English with translation,let's talk about the basic knowledge we will need.
So, our body consists of a torso (body), arms (arms), legs (legs) and a head (head). We look at the world with our eyes (eyes), smell the smells around us with our nose (nose), hear sounds with our ears (ears), pronounce sounds with our mouth (mouth), which has teeth (teeth), and kiss our loved ones with our lips (lips).
To remember what certain parts of the body or face will be called in English, it is best to learn them together with pictures or “find” these parts on yourself and immediately come up with a phrase or situation in which this word may be useful to you.
Also, any word in English will be easier to remember if you associate it with something. For example, to remember how the verb “to hear” will be in English, it will be enough to remember what the ear is called. But to go to the hairdresser and get yourself a new hairstyle, you need to knowHow do you say "hair" in English?(hair). By the way, the word “hair” in English is the basis for many other more complex words. For example, a hair dryer will be called hairdryer, a hairdresser will be called hairdresser, and hairspray will be called hairspray. So knowing the word"hair" in English, translationthe words associated with it will not cause you any difficulties: you will simply be able to guess their meaning intuitively.
Interestingly, some body parts will be called differently in English in the singular and in the plural. We already knowHow do you say "eye" in English?- eye. But how will they"eyes" in English Iyski in the plural? Simply add the ending “-s”: eyes. Similarly with ears: one ear is ear, two are ears. But “lips” will almost always be used immediately in the plural (lips), unless we need to talk about a specific one (upper or lower).
But with the feet (feet) it’s a completely different story. In the singular, the foot will be foot, and in the plural, feet (but not foots). It's a similar story with teeth. The singular form of tooth is tooth, and the plural form of teeth is teeth. By the way, the toothpaste will be toothpaste, not teethpaste. You just need to remember this.
Believe me, you already know many of the body parts. Remember the movie "Jaws"? Its Russian adaptation title is translated extremely accurately (and this does not always happen with films). In English it is called “Jaws”, literally - jaws. This means that one jaw will be jaw. Something similar to the Russian word “chew”. Here's an example of another great association to remember.
Heart in Englishthe language will be heart. This is an important word that you will encounter quite often: in films, songs, and just when talking about feelings. Remember the famous song “My Heart Will Go On”? So, in order for our heart to continue beating, our entire body needs to function as a single whole.
