Teaching body parts in Chinese
Posted by gsetio on July 3, 2007
One of the first things to teach to babies is naming body parts, whether it is in Mandarin, English or any other language.
Classic, what we do is naming the body part as we play with our babies, change diaper, bathe them, or massage them.
Playing ‘Simon says’ also has been our favorite way to revise the name of body part. We do this almost everyday especially with our 2 yr old, during changing diaper.
Definitely MUST do this when we change poopy diaper 
Remember to ask her/him to point to the UPPER part of the body 
We always ask: Simon says – touch your eyes! ; Ni de er duo zai na li ? ; bi zi ? and so on
SING head and shoulder, knees, and toes. We sing it in three languages Indonesian, Chinese, English.
