What to Teach at Each Age
Use these age bands as a guide, not a checklist. Children develop at different paces; repeat familiar words and add new ones when a child shows interest. Ages for the linked Rainbow programmes are measured as of 1 June.
Playgroup · 1.5–2.5 years
Try: head, eyes, nose, mouth, hands, tummy and feet. Activity: name one part while looking together in a mirror or picture. See the Playgroup programme.
Nursery · 2.5–3.5 years
Try: face parts, arms, fingers, legs and knees. Activity: match a word to a part on a drawing. Explore the Nursery programme.
Jr KG · 3.5–4.5 years
Try: wrist, palm, ankle, heel and the five senses. Activity: sort picture cards by face, hand, leg or sense. Learn about the Kindergarten programme.
Sr KG · 4.5–5.5 years
Try: selected internal parts and their simple roles. Activity: label a large body outline together. Find details about the Kindergarten programme.
Age labels are a guide: the ranges above are approximate, and children's interests and readiness differ.

Games to Learn Body Parts
Keep rounds short, demonstrate first and let children watch instead of joining. Choose picture-based versions when movement is not comfortable.
1. Simon says
Give a simple prompt such as “Simon says point to your elbow”. Children can point to themselves, a drawing or a doll.
2. Mirror game
Take turns making a face or pointing to a feature in a mirror. The child can lead or simply observe.
3. Touch and name
Invite children to touch their own nose, knee or toes and say its name. Never touch another person without permission.
4. Body tracing on paper
Trace around a paper figure or draw a simple outline, then add labels together. Keep the activity on paper.
5. Body parts bingo
Use picture squares; call a word and let children mark or point to its picture.
6. Dress-up doll
Use a paper doll or toy to place simple clothing and name the body part each item covers.
7. Traditional action song
Choose a familiar action song such as “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”. Point to or move gently with each named body part; participation is optional.
8. What is missing?
Draw a face or body outline with one feature left off. Ask children to spot and draw the missing part.
Make participation optional and keep the language matter-of-fact. A child can point to a picture instead of their own body, and everyone should ask permission before touching another person.

Parents & Teachers Ask
Short answers for adults introducing body vocabulary at home or in an early-years setting.
Start with familiar external parts: head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hands, tummy, legs and feet. Add one or two words at a time, and let a child point to the named part on themselves or a picture.
Children notice body parts from an early age, but there is no single deadline. Use a few familiar words in playgroup, add more in nursery, and build a wider vocabulary through Jr KG and Sr KG. Readiness and interest matter more than a date.
Use two or three short words during everyday routines: “Here are your hands” or “Where is your nose?” Point to your own face, a doll or a picture. Keep it playful, follow the child's interest and do not insist on touch.
The five commonly taught sense organs are eyes for seeing, ears for hearing, the nose for smelling, the tongue for tasting and the skin for touch. The skin covers the body and helps us notice touch in many places.
Internal body parts are parts inside the body, such as the brain, heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, bones and muscles. A simple explanation is enough: they do different jobs that help the body work.
There is no required number. Many children enjoy learning a small set of familiar words first; adults can follow their questions and add names gradually rather than testing or comparing children.
Common face-part names include forehead, eyebrow, eyelash, eye, ear, nose, cheek, lips, mouth, teeth, tongue and chin. The word “ear” names the visible outer part as well as the body part we use to hear.
Examples include head—सिर (sir), eye—आँख (aankh), nose—नाक (naak), hand—हाथ (haath), tummy—पेट (pet) and foot—पैर (pair). Hindi words can vary by region and family; the list gives familiar everyday terms.
