About this resource
Description
Plants and animals are all around us, and learning to name them is one of the first steps in life science. This writing the names of living things worksheet helps young learners connect a picture of a living thing to its written name. Children look closely at each plant and animal, say its name out loud, and then write the word on the line. It is a simple, friendly way to build science vocabulary and handwriting practice at the same time.
This 1st grade living and non-living things worksheet shows six colorful pictures: an owl, a daisy, a pig, a frog, a tree, and a duck. A word box at the top lists all six names. Students say the name of each picture, find the matching word in the box, and write it neatly on the line under the picture. The sheet works well as a science center, a morning warm-up, a homework page, or a quick check after a lesson on living and non-living things.
What’s Included
- One printable worksheet with six living-thing picture cards
- A word box with the six names to read and copy
- A writing line under every picture sized for 1st grade handwriting
- An answer key with every name filled in
How This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it teaches children that both plants and animals are living things, which is the heart of early life science. Second, it builds reading skills, because students must read the words in the box and match each one to the right picture. Third, it gives handwriting practice with real science words, so writing feels useful and connected to what they are learning.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before the worksheet, take a short walk outside and point out living things you see, such as trees, birds, and bugs. After students finish the writing the names of living things worksheet, ask them to add one more living thing of their own on the back of the page and draw it. You can also cut the picture cards apart and use them for a sorting game with pictures of non-living things like rocks, toys, and chairs. Talk about what every living thing needs, such as food, water, and air, so children understand why these six pictures belong together.
