Free Shadow Matching Worksheets for Kindergarten – Match Shadows

These free printable shadow matching worksheets help preschool and kindergarten children look carefully at the shape of an object. Each shadow is the same picture filled in black, so the only thing left to go on is the outline, which is exactly the kind of looking that gets children ready to tell letters and shapes apart. The pages rotate between three tasks so children are not doing the same thing over and over: seeing a shadow and circling the picture that matches, seeing a picture and circling the matching shadow, and drawing a line from each picture to its shadow. Every object in a row has a clearly different outline, so the answer is never in doubt. The pictures include a banana, a carrot, an umbrella, a key, a guitar, a giraffe, an elephant, and more. The first page explains what a shadow is with four examples, and the final page is an answer key. Just download, print, and match the shadows!
