Point to it, then find it: six Dutch words for parts of the body

The best thing about this sheet is that every answer is attached to your child. OOR is an ear, KIN is a chin, TAND is a tooth — three short Dutch words they can touch as soon as they have circled them. That physical link is why body vocabulary is usually the fastest to stick in a new language, and why this puzzle tends to be finished faster than most of the others in the set.

ELLEBOOG and SPIEREN are the two that ask for effort. Elbow and elbow-ish are near enough that a child guesses ELLEBOOG early, but they still have to find eight letters running in one direction without mistaking a stray E for the start. SPIEREN, meaning muscles, has nothing English to lean on. ENKEL sits quietly in the middle: five letters for ankle, easy to say, easy to miss in the grid.

This is a natural sheet for the week you are doing bodies, doctors or keeping healthy in Dutch. Follow it with a game of pointing — you say OOR, your child touches an ear, then swap roles — and six written words become six spoken ones in about four minutes. Teachers can run the same game with a whole class standing up, using the finished sheets as the word list.
