Body Parts Worksheets

What children practise

The set covers familiar external body parts such as the head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, fingers, legs, knees and feet. Younger children can point to pictures, match parts and trace simple words. Older children can label a body outline, complete missing letters, sort body parts by location and answer short EVS questions. The activities use clear pictures and short instructions, so you can choose a suitable sheet for your child's age and writing level.

Simple ways to use the worksheets

At home, begin with a quick action game. Ask your child to touch their nose, clap their hands, bend their knees or stamp their feet, then use a matching or labelling sheet. In class, place a large body outline on the board and invite children to add labels before they work independently. Children can colour a picture, read each word aloud and check their answers with a partner. For a related lesson, link this set with Five Senses Worksheets or Personal Hygiene Worksheets.

Helping with common mix-ups

Children often confuse the arm with the hand, or the leg with the foot. Show the whole part first, then name the smaller part, such as arm, elbow, hand and fingers. Use your own body or a doll for pointing, and ask your child to use the word in a short sentence. Some children may reverse letters when writing labels, so let them copy from a word bank before asking them to write from memory. Keep language respectful and use correct names without making comments about body size, colour or appearance.
