Definitions Matching

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a vocabulary and spelling activity designed for fifth-grade students. It pairs a list of ten definitions with a box containing ten words, such as “continent,” “melody,” and “sleeve.” Students must read each definition and then write the corresponding word from the box that matches the definition on the lines provided. The exercise is a test of both the students’ understanding of the word meanings and their ability to spell the words correctly.

The worksheet is aimed at expanding the students’ vocabulary by associating words with their definitions. It also reinforces the correct spelling of words that students at this grade level are expected to know. By matching definitions to words, students are practicing critical thinking and comprehension skills. Writing the words allows for practice in spelling and further cements the word-definition relationship in the students’ minds. Write the word from the word box to match each of the definitions.
