Wordplay Matches

Worksheet Description

The “Minimal Pairs” worksheet is a fun and educational resource designed to improve students’ vocabulary, word manipulation, and problem-solving skills. It introduces the concept of minimal pairs, where changing a single letter in a word can create a new word with a different meaning.

In this worksheet, students will encounter two columns. The left column features pictures paired with their corresponding names. Students are tasked with changing the first or last letter of the word associated with each picture to create a new word. The challenge lies in finding the matching picture in the right column that corresponds to the newly created word.

This exercise encourages students to think critically about word structures, sounds, and meanings. It also helps them expand their vocabulary and develop a deeper understanding of word relationships and phonetics.
