Future Tense Fun: Fill-in-the-Blanks Worksheet for Kids
This worksheet introduces children ages 4-6 to the future tense, having them choose and write the correct verb form to complete sentences about things that 'will' happen. Understanding that verbs change to reflect when an action takes place — past, present, or future — is a foundational grammar concept that helps children communicate more precisely as their sentences grow longer and more complex.

How to use this worksheet
Read each sentence together first without filling anything in, and talk about whether the action is happening now or will happen later. Have your child choose the correct verb option to complete each sentence, writing it into the blank. Once the blanks are filled, go back and have your child circle the future tense words, like 'will', to reinforce the pattern.
Materials needed
- Pencil
Extension activities
- •Create new sentences together about things your family will do this weekend, using future tense verbs.
- •Draw a picture illustrating one of the completed future-tense sentences.
- •Play a 'what will you do' game, taking turns predicting simple future actions using the word 'will'.
- •Compare a present tense sentence and its future tense version side by side, like 'I play' versus 'I will play'.
Tips for parents and teachers
Encourage your child to read each sentence aloud fully before choosing an answer, since hearing the whole sentence often makes the correct tense obvious even before understanding the grammar rule by name. Have them explain their choices back to you in their own words to check real understanding rather than lucky guessing. This concept can feel abstract at this age, so plenty of real-life examples using 'will' in everyday conversation will help it stick.

Tenses Worksheet: Identifying Past, Present, and Future Verbs
Identifying whether an underlined verb describes something that already happened, is happening now, or will happen later introduces children ages 4-6 to verb tense, an important step toward constructing grammatically correct sentences of their own.
Tense Time! A Worksheet on Past, Present, and Future Verbs
This worksheet has 4-6 year olds take a given verb and write it correctly in past, present, and future tense boxes, which is a more demanding task than simply identifying tense since it requires actually producing the correct verb form each time — including the common '-ed' ending pattern for regular verbs. Practicing this transformation across multiple verbs builds the flexible understanding that the same action word changes shape depending on when it happens.
Tense Time! Cut and Paste the Verbs Worksheet
Sorting verbs into past, present, and future ice cream scoops teaches 4-6 year olds that verbs physically change form to show when something happens — a foundational grammar concept that often trips kids up because English tense endings are inconsistent (walked, but went, not goed). Because your child has to read each word, decide its tense, and then correctly cut and place it, the worksheet demands genuine comprehension rather than pattern-matching by ending alone, especially where irregular verbs are involved.
Tense Time! Identifying Past, Present, and Future Tense Worksheet
This worksheet asks 5-7 year olds to read a full sentence and identify which tense it's written in — past, present, or future — based on the verb form and clue words used, which is a meaningfully harder skill than simply writing verbs in different tenses since it requires recognizing the grammar pattern rather than producing it. This kind of tense-identification practice is exactly what supports stronger reading comprehension and writing later, since understanding when something happens is core to following any story.
Trace the Numbers 1-9 Worksheet for Preschoolers
Tracing the numerals 1 through 9 gives children ages 3-5 repeated, guided practice with the specific pencil strokes each number requires, building the fine motor control and muscle memory needed for independent number writing. Because tracing follows a fixed, correct path, it also reinforces accurate numeral recognition, helping children tell visually similar digits apart.
CVC Train Worksheet: Write and Build CVC Words!
This worksheet gives children ages 4-6 focused practice blending letter sounds into consonant-vowel-consonant words, using train-car pictures as clues for words like 'dog,' 'hen,' or 'cup.' Because children both write the word and can optionally build it with Lego blocks, this worksheet reinforces the same phonics skill through two different physical actions — handwriting and hands-on construction — which helps the spelling patterns stick.
Plant Parts Worksheet: Identify and Label the Parts of a Plant!
This worksheet teaches children ages 4-6 to identify and independently label the flower, stem, leaf, and roots of a plant, moving a step beyond simple matching toward recalling vocabulary from memory. Optionally adding pulses or grains to the diagram introduces a tactile, sensory layer that helps reinforce which part is which through touch as well as sight.
CVC Train Worksheet: Write CVC Words!
Writing consonant-vowel-consonant words like 'cat,' 'sun,' or 'pig' under matching pictures gives children ages 4-6 direct practice with letter-sound blending, a core phonics skill that underpins independent reading. Because each train car pairs a picture clue with a blank space, children also practice translating a spoken word they can sound out into its correctly spelled written form.
