Body Parts Tap and Listen Activity for Kids

This friendly picture activity helps young children learn the names of body parts in English. A smiling cartoon child stands on the screen, and every important part is marked with a tap spot. When your child taps the eyes, ears, nose, hands or feet, a clear voice says the word out loud.

It is a free, playful way to build first vocabulary, listening skills and body awareness. Children aged two to five love repeating the words, pointing to the same part on their own body and saying it again and again.

How to play

  1. Look at the picture of the child on the screen and find the glowing tap spots.
  2. Tap any body part, such as the nose, hand or foot, and listen to its name.
  3. Say the word aloud together and point to the same part on your own body.
  4. Keep tapping until your child has heard and repeated every body part.

While playing, your child is learning far more than a list of words. Hearing a clear voice and seeing the matching picture links sound to meaning, which is exactly how early vocabulary grows. Pointing to the same part on their own body adds movement, so the word is remembered through the senses too.

This activity also supports listening skills, careful looking and simple following of instructions. You can extend it at home by asking questions like "Where is your elbow?" or by singing a body parts song together. Short sessions of five to ten minutes work best for little learners.

Frequently asked questions

What age is this body parts activity best for?
It suits children aged about two to five years. Toddlers enjoy tapping and listening, while older preschoolers can repeat each word, spell short ones and name the parts on their own body without help.
Which body parts are included?
The picture covers hair, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, neck, shoulder, arm, hand, tummy, leg, knee and foot. These are the most useful first words for preschool children at home and in school.
Do I need to download anything to play?
No. The activity runs free in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Just turn the sound on so your child can hear each body part name clearly as they tap the picture.
How can I continue this learning away from the screen?
Play simple pointing games such as "Touch your ears" or "Show me your knee". Draw an outline of your child on paper and label the parts together, or sing action rhymes about the body.
