Chubby Cheeks

Worksheet Description

This preschool worksheet is a delightful learning tool that incorporates the nursery rhyme “Chubby Cheeks.” The rhyme is printed at the top of the page, featuring descriptive phrases that paint a picture of a cherubic child with “chubby cheeks, dimple chin, rosy lips, teeth within” and asks, “Teacher’s pet, is that you?” This poem not only introduces children to rhythm and rhyme but also to descriptive language that paints a vivid picture, enhancing vocabulary and auditory discrimination.

Beneath the rhyme, a visual activity awaits the young learners. They are presented with a grid of illustrated facial features and are prompted to identify the one that doesn’t belong, encouraging attention to detail and cognitive development. This task also reinforces the descriptive words found in the poem by associating them with their corresponding facial parts. A simple, yet effective feedback system at the bottom of the worksheet with smiley faces allows children to rate their experience, fostering emotional understanding and self-assessment skills. The worksheet is both educational and entertaining, perfectly tailored for preschool children to enhance their reading, comprehension, and observational skills.
