Free Animal Words Worksheets for Kindergarten – Read and Write
These free printable animal worksheets help preschool and kindergarten children learn to read and write the names of ten animals: cat, dog, elephant, fox, giraffe, lion, owl, panda, penguin, and rabbit. The pages rotate between three tasks so children are not doing the same thing ten times: circling the correct name from three choices, drawing a line from each animal to its name, and writing the name on the line with a word list at the top for help. Animal names are among the first words children want to read, because they already know the animals and only need to connect them to the printed word. The set mixes familiar pets with zoo animals, so there is something to talk about on every page. The first page shows all ten animals with their names as a reference, and the final page is an answer key. Just download, print, and name the animals!
