Pairs That Belong: Shape and Word Analogies Worksheet
Children see the link inside a first pair, then pick the choice that makes the same link in a second pair. They start with shapes (size, dots, direction), move to word pairs (home, opposite, young and adult, use) and name the link in words. A cut-out card game lets them build one of their own.
