Body parts picture cards
Use these pictures alongside ordinary conversation, a song or a favourite toy. Show one card and name the part, then invite your child to point to their own if they wish. Children can also point to a picture or a doll; nobody needs to be touched to take part.

What we’re exploring
Build familiar body vocabulary and connect a picture with a spoken word.
A little way to play
- Select two or three cards, such as hand, foot and nose. Say the word while pointing to the picture.
- Invite a match on a toy or in another picture. Ask before inviting a child to point to their own body.
- Describe a simple action: “I can wave my hand.” Let your child choose whether to copy it.
- Hide the label for a guessing turn, then reveal it and say the word together.
Make it easier
Offer two pictures and ask for one by name. Accept a look, gesture or choice made with an adult’s help as participation.
Try a little moreTalk about singular and plural words: one hand, two hands; one foot, two feet. Find different illustrated examples of the same part.
For the grown-up
People’s bodies look and work in different ways. Use language that fits the child, and avoid suggesting everyone can perform the same action. These are vocabulary pictures, not an anatomy or health assessment.
Answers & naming help
The pictures are hand, foot, eye, ear, nose, mouth and head. A child may use a familiar home-language word; acknowledge it and offer the English label if that is your chosen activity.

How do I print this?
Choose your vocabulary and paper size, then download the PDF. Print at actual size or 100%. Use the low-ink option for outline activities; colour-name cards still need their colour to teach the word. Cut-and-stack mini-books are available in the flashcard maker.
Keep the discoveries going.
