• Match baby animal to adult animal.
• Match sound to object.
• Match numeral to word.
• Match phonemic symbol to sound.
• Match sentence start to sentence end.
• Match collocation parts.

Scrambled Word worksheets

Word scrambles or jumbles make great brain teasers. You can use these to fill a time gap when a student or group finishes something early. You can also use these to review vocabulary or introduce a new topic. Here are some types of words you can ask students to unscramble:

• key vocabulary
• word wall/sight words
• spelling list words
• names of students in the classroom
• teachers’ last names
• names of places
• number words
• words that are difficult to say
• commonly misspelled words
• words with silent letters or other special features
• holiday or special event vocabulary
• grammar terms

Sorting worksheets

With sorting worksheets students sort words, phrases or short sentences into two, three or four columns. Some of these ideas are more suitable for one type of sorting generator than another.

• Sort nouns into categories eg furniture, transport, buildings.
• Sort nouns into person, place or thing.
• Sort words into wordstress pattern eg ooO oOo Ooo.
• Sort words into number of syllables eg quite quiet.
• Sort short sentences into tenses.
• Sort words into parts of speech.
• Sort characteristics into positive or negative.
• Sort spelling into right or wrong (students make corrections).
• Sort independent and dependent clauses.
• Sort prefixes and suffixes.
