German words for parts of the body a child can point to

Every word on this sheet names something your child can touch while saying it: a thumb, a tooth, cheeks, a heel, an eyebrow, a foot. That makes it unusually easy to rehearse. Point at your foot, say FUSS, then look for it in the grid. The meaning is attached before the search starts, which is what makes the hunt worth the paper it takes.

AUGENBRAUE is the interesting one, ten letters built from two smaller pieces: AUGEN for the eyes and BRAUE for the brow above them. German does this constantly, and noticing it once makes long words far less frightening. FUSS is short and slides past the eye. WANGEN is a plural, naming both cheeks at once, so it is longer than a child expects a single picture to need.

Use it after a lesson on the body, or on a wet afternoon when a child wants something to do that is not a screen. Six words is about right for one sitting, and ZAHN and DAUMEN tend to be the two that stick first. A mirror helps: say the word, touch the part, then find it in the letters. If interest fades halfway, stop and circle the rest tomorrow. Nothing here depends on finishing the whole grid in one go.
