About this worksheet

An animal’s home is more than a place with a familiar name. It supplies food, water, space, and protection. Kindergarten children may match animals to places by remembering a storybook scene without saying why the match works. This worksheet shows one animal and asks where it lives, with pictures of a nest, a barn, a beehive, a web, a doghouse, a fishbowl, a tree, or a rabbit hole to circle. At the standard and challenge levels half of the questions run the other way: a picture of a home is shown and the child circles which animal lives there.

Support questions use animals with very strong clues and wrong choices that clearly do not fit. Challenge questions add a fourth picture. The pictures are examples, not claims that an animal can live only in one setting; many birds use trees as well as nests, and a fish may live in a pond as well as a bowl. Focus on whether the chosen place gives the animal what it needs.

What your child will learn

  • Match animals with useful homes
  • Match a home with the animal that lives there
  • Connect a home with food or shelter
  • Explain a choice in a short sentence

NGSS standard: K-ESS3-1
