If the word 'mouse' in plural is 'mice' and the word 'lice' in plural is 'lice' then why do you say 'houses' instead of 'hice'?

Sorry, that's just the way it is. The reason is that much of the English language is a conglomeration of many different languages from different sources with many different rules of grammar. This is true even of the languages from different sources within the British Isles which consolidated the language as the power of the English monarchy consolidated. Over time, the language has evolved from internal and external sources.

Why is the plural of house houses and the plural of mouse mice?
It is the way language developed from early times. The old English word for a single animal was 'mus' and the plural 'mys. These names stemmed from Latin and Greek. Also the difference is caused by the human habit of being lazy and taking the easiest way. It was easier to say 'mice' from the old English than mouses. However 'mouses' is acceptable

How do you explain goose is to geese then why isn't moose to meese to children?
There are very few words in English that don't pluralize with an "s". For example, just because the plural of mouse is mice does not mean the plural of house is hice. But maybe teaching them a few more words that pluralize funny in English may help. Good luck!! footfeet goosegeese louselice manmen mousemice toothteeth womanwomen
