Explain to the person that each face is for a person who has no pain (hurt) or some, or a lot of pain. Face 0 doesn’t hurt at all. Face 2 hurts just a little bit. Face 4 hurts a little more. Face 6 hurts even more. Face 8 hurts a whole lot. Face 10 hurts as much as you can imagine, although you don’t have to be crying to have this worst pain.
