Face Parts Tap and Learn Activity for Kids

Little learners love faces, so this is a lovely place to begin learning body parts. In this free activity for kids, a friendly cartoon face appears on the screen with hidden tap spots. When your child taps the eyes, nose, ears, mouth or hair, a clear voice says the word out loud.

There is no reading needed, so even a two or three year old can join in. Children listen, repeat, and then point to the same part on their own face. It is a gentle, playful way to build first vocabulary and listening skills at home or in a preschool classroom.

How to play

  1. Look at the big face picture on the screen together.
  2. Tap any part of the face, such as the eye, nose or ear, and listen to the word.
  3. Say the word aloud with your child and point to the same part on your own face.
  4. Keep tapping until every part has been named, then play again for practice.

This activity builds your child's first vocabulary of face and body words, such as eye, nose, ear, mouth, cheek and chin. Hearing a clear voice while looking at the picture links sound to meaning, which supports early listening and speaking skills. Tapping the small spots also gives useful finger control practice. When children touch the same part on their own face, they begin to understand body awareness, a key idea in early science and self-care. Try asking simple questions afterwards, like "Where is your nose?" or "How many ears do you have?" to turn the game into a short, happy conversation.

Frequently asked questions

What age is this face parts activity best for?
It works well for children aged two to five. Younger toddlers enjoy tapping and listening with an adult nearby, while four and five year olds can name each part first and then tap to check if they were right.
Do children need to read to play?
No reading is needed at all. Every part of the face is named by a clear voice, so children learn only by looking, tapping and listening. This makes it a good first screen activity for preschool and nursery children.
Is this activity free to use?
Yes, it is completely free and works in a web browser on a phone, tablet, laptop or classroom smart board. There is nothing to install and no sign up, so you can start playing within a few seconds.
How can I extend the learning away from the screen?
Play a mirror game where your child points to each part on their own face. You can also draw a big face on paper together and label it, or sing a simple head, shoulders and knees song.
