Family words — Vocabulary words for kids

Word tip

One step at a time — “work out a relation step by step: whose son, whose daughter?”

1. Break the relation into steps: “my father’s brother” = my father → his brother = uncle.
2. Your parent’s parent is a grandparent; your parent’s brother or sister is an uncle or aunt; their child is your cousin.
3. Your brother’s or sister’s son is a nephew; their daughter is a niece.

Use it for: Writing “My Family” essays, drawing a family tree, and talking about relatives at festivals.

Worked example: Fill the gap: My uncle’s son is my ___. → cousin
