About these body parts worksheets

Naming the parts of the body is one of the first science and vocabulary lessons in preschool. These body parts worksheets help children name the head, arms, hands, legs and feet, and the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hair on a face.

Children point and touch, cut and glue, draw lines and count on their own bodies. Every page has big pictures and one short direction for a grown-up to read. Pages with right answers have an answer key on page 2, and each cut and paste page has a no-cut version.

How to use them

  1. Use the My Body poster with a song like Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. Point to each part on the picture, then on your own body.
  2. On the face pages, sit in front of a mirror and touch each part of your face before cutting or drawing lines.
  3. For What Goes Where?, bring out a real hat, glasses, a glove and a shoe and let your child put each one on.
  4. On How Many Do I Have?, count on your own body together, then circle the number.
  5. Play Simon Says with body part words to review.

Teaching tips

  • Use the real words: foot and feet, hand and hands, eye and eyes. Point out that we have two of some parts and one of others.
  • Our hands help us touch and our eyes help us see. Link this topic to the five senses.
  • Every body is different. Talk about how bodies can look different and still have the same parts.
  • Choose the no-cut versions when scissors are not practical. They teach the same words.

Questions teachers and parents ask

What body parts should preschoolers know?

Start with head, arms, hands, legs and feet, and the parts of the face: eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hair. Older preschoolers can add words like knees, elbows, shoulders and fingers.

How do you teach body parts to preschoolers?

Use songs, mirrors and games like Simon Says. Point to a part on a picture, then on your own body, and say the word together.

Does this body parts worksheet have an answer key?

Yes. The face cut and paste and matching pages, the clothes matching pages and the counting page have an answer key on page 2. The posters do not need one.
