French Vocabulary – Face Riddles Posted by on Apr 27, 2009 in Vocabulary

I was working on some vocabulary with my daughters and I came up with an idea for a blog article that I thought might be fun.  First of all, let’s go over some face vocabulary:

la bouche mouth
la joue / les joues one cheek / cheeks
le front forehead
le menton chin
le nez nose
le visage face
les cheveux hair
les cils eyelashes
les sourcils eyebrows
un œil / les yeux one eye / eyes
une dent / les dents one tooth / teeth
une oreille / les oreilles one ear / ears

And now, I am going to give you some “riddles” in French so that you can guess what vocabulary word I am referring to.  Let us know what your answers are in a comment.  Who can get them all?
I’ll give you the answers in a future article.  Bonne chance!

1.  Nous sommes deux.  De temps en temps nous en avons besoin de lunettes.  Que sommes-nous?
2.  Nous aimons bien qu’on nous lave et qu’on nous brosse.  Que sommes-nous?
3. Je donne du support aux lunettes.  Quand je sens une démangeaison, j’éternue.  Que suis-je?
4. On nous laisse pousser.  Nous tombons et puis nous poussons de nouveau.  Que sommes-nous?
5. Quand je suis trop petit, on dit «Ouvre grand !».  Que suis-je ?
