Living and Non Living Things Check Chart Worksheet

About this worksheet

Eight rows, each with the word printed large next to its picture: rabbit, chair, snail, balloon, book, tree, duck and crayon. Two columns of empty circles run alongside, tinted green for Living and orange for Not Living, and the child checks one circle per row. The word beside every picture means a child who is starting to read gets the practice thrown in for free.

A chart is a different ask from a sorting mat, because the answer stays in a fixed grid and the whole page can be scanned at a glance when it is finished. Mixing a snail and a duck in among the household objects keeps the living column from being all obvious mammals, and the tree covers the plant case that trips most children up.

What students will practice

• Read a picture word and match it to the item
• Decide living or not living for eight things
• Put a check mark in the right column of a chart
