Preschool Describing Words Picture Worksheet

About this worksheet

A describing word is only useful when a child can test it against the world, so every item here ends with a finger on a picture rather than with a label like adjective. The first level says one word and asks which picture it is true of. Cold is a snowflake and not a drum; hard is a rock and not a cloud. The second level gives an example the child already knows and asks for a different one, which is a real jump: a pillow is soft, so what else is soft? That question cannot be answered by matching a word to a picture, only by understanding what the word means. The third level joins two describing words with AND, so a picture that satisfies half the clue has to be rejected. Small alone could be a button or a key; small and round is only the button. No item depends on color, because these sheets are printed in grayscale and ink-saver as often as in color, and a question a printer can erase is not a question.

What your child will learn

Match a describing word to something it is really true of
Give a second example of a describing word you already know
Test one picture against two describing words at once
Talk about texture, size, sound, taste and temperature

Worked example

You say, “Find the one that is small AND round.” A key is small but not round and a ball is round but not small, so both are out. The button is both.

Common mistake

Accepting the first picture that fits half the clue, which is why the two-word items put a half-match in the choices on purpose.

Helpful hint

Let your child touch a real cold, soft or bumpy thing before answering.
