These or Those Worksheet: Identifying Plural Nouns
Children ages 4-5 build on singular demonstrative pronouns by learning 'these' and 'those,' the plural forms used to describe groups of objects that are near or far. Understanding this distinction strengthens both grammar and the ability to judge distance and quantity together in a single sentence.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the pictures showing multiple objects together with the pointing hand, and talk about whether the group is close by or farther away. Read the sentence aloud with your child, leaving a blank for the pronoun. Have them decide whether 'These' or 'Those' fits based on the distance shown, then write the correct word in the blank, checking that it matches the plural object in the picture.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Eraser
Extension activities
- •Point to groups of objects around the room, using 'these' for nearby groups and 'those' for groups farther away.
- •Make flashcards with pictures of multiple objects and practice choosing 'these' or 'those' for each one.
- •Set toys at two different distances and take turns describing each group with the correct pronoun.
- •Play an 'I see these, you see those' game while looking out a window at objects near and far.
Tips for parents and teachers
Reinforce that 'these' and 'those' are used only for more than one object, unlike 'this' and 'that,' which is often the trickiest distinction for children this age. Practice the words in real conversations around the house so the grammar rule sticks beyond the worksheet. Let your child try to figure out each answer independently before stepping in with help.

Demonstrative Pronoun Fun: Farm Animals Worksheet for Kids
Using farm animal pictures as the context, children ages 3-5 practice choosing the right demonstrative pronoun — this, that, these, or those — based on how close or how many animals are shown. Anchoring the grammar concept in familiar, engaging farm animals makes an otherwise abstract idea about proximity and number much easier for young children to grasp.
Demonstrative Pronouns Worksheet for Preschoolers
Choosing between 'this,' 'that,' 'these,' and 'those' teaches children ages 3-5 an early grammar concept tied directly to physical space — near versus far, and one item versus many. Because this distinction depends on perspective, practicing it helps children connect spoken language to what they actually see and point to, strengthening both vocabulary and spatial reasoning.
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.
Parts of a Plant Worksheet: Identify and Label!
This activity teaches children ages 3-5 the basic parts of a plant — flower, stem, leaf, and roots — by having them label a diagram and add texture using real pulses or grains glued onto the plant shape. Combining a tactile material with each labeled part helps young children retain the vocabulary better than labeling alone, since touch and sight reinforce the same information.
My Address Worksheet: Color the State and Fill in Your Details!
This worksheet introduces children ages 3-5 to their personal address as a piece of core safety knowledge, while the map-coloring task builds early geography skills by having them physically locate and color their home state within India. Practicing house number, street, city, and PIN code also gives meaningful, motivated handwriting practice since the words are personally relevant.
