Big and Small Halloween
Five rows of Halloween friends shown big and small: a pumpkin, a ghost, a bat, a kitten and a candy. The big picture switches sides from row to row, so children have to look carefully each time.
How to use this worksheet
- Name the two pictures in each row.
- Decide which one is big.
- Circle the big one in every row.
- Color the small ones for the bonus.
What your child practices
Big and small are among the first comparison words children learn, and they lead straight into early measurement and math words such as taller, longer, more and fewer. Because the big picture swaps sides, children cannot just circle the same place every time; they have to compare.
Who it is for
Great for Pre-K and confident preschoolers aged about three to five. Children who find it easy can try saying a full sentence for each row, such as 'The pumpkin on the left is bigger.'
Keep it going
Use size words all through Halloween week: a big bag and a small bag, a big pumpkin and a small pumpkin, a big shadow and a small shadow. Sorting a handful of treats into big and small piles is a quick follow-up game.
