Animal Sounds Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Look at each animal picture together and ask your child to make that animal's sound before looking at the word choices. Read the sound words aloud if your child isn't reading independently yet, and have them draw a line from the animal to the word that matches the sound they just made. Work through the whole page animal by animal, checking each line as you go rather than leaving all the checking for the end. Finish by coloring the animals for extra engagement.
