Singular and Plural
Many parts of the face come in pairs, so we use the plural. Most words just add an s:
| Singular | Plural |
|---|---|
| eye | eyes |
| ear | ears |
| cheek | cheeks |
| eyebrow | eyebrows |
| lip | lips |
| tooth | teeth |
Watch out: the plural of tooth is teeth, not “tooths”. It’s a special plural your child learns as it is.
Steps for Teaching at Home
- In front of a mirror: your child stands at the mirror while you point to each part of their face and say its name.
- The basic words first: start with eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hair.
- Then the rest: add two new words a day, like teeth and chin.
- Ask: point to a part and ask: What’s this? They answer: It’s my nose.
Activities for Home
- Touch your nose: give an instruction like Touch your nose! or Touch your ears! and your child touches the part quickly. Then swap roles.
- Draw the face: your child draws a big circle, then you say: Draw two eyes. Then Draw a nose. until the face is complete.
- A song: the well-known children’s song Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes includes eyes, ears, mouth and nose, pointing to each part.

Simon says with the face: Touch your ears! Whoever gets it wrong sits down.
Summary

- Most words take s in the plural: eye → eyes, ear → ears.
- The plural of tooth is teeth, a special plural to learn as it is.
- A mirror and the Touch your nose game turn the words into fun movement.
