Using 我五岁了
岁 is “years of age” and 了 marks a current state, so 我五岁了 is “I'm five years old”. The pattern is a slot machine: 我 + number + 岁（了） — 我六岁了， 我七岁了. It answers the question adults ask every child they meet: 你几岁（了）？(“how old are you?”).
In Traditional Chinese it is 我五歲了; only 岁 changes, to 歲. A birthday-party sentence that practices two phrases at once: 今天我五岁了 (“today I turned five”). For the practice sheet, keep the child's real age — writing your own number is far more motivating than copying someone else's.
