Grade 3 analogies worksheet with fun illustrations and educational content.

Let’s go through each analogy one by one. We’re matching relationships — like how two things are connected in the first pair, we find the same kind of connection in the second pair.

We have a word box to choose from:
hand, hour, cherries, throw, under, big, eye
book, water, plant, car, down, square, stop

---

1. In is to Out as Up is to ______
→ “In” and “Out” are opposites. So what’s the opposite of “Up”? → Down

2. Go is to Green as Red is to ______
→ In traffic lights, green means “go”, red means “stop”. So → Stop

3. Wheel is to Bike as Tire is to ______
→ A wheel is part of a bike. A tire is part of a...? Cars have tires too. But let’s check: Is “car” in the box? Yes. Also, bikes have wheels, cars have tires (though technically both have both, but in common analogies, this works). → Car

Wait — actually, think again: Wheel is a part of a bike. Tire is a part of a car? Or maybe it's better: Wheel goes with bike, tire goes with... well, cars use tires. But let’s see if there’s a better fit. Actually, “tire” is often associated with “car” in simple analogies. Let’s keep going and come back if needed.

Actually, another way: Maybe “wheel” is to “bike” as “tire” is to “car” — yes, that makes sense for grade 3.

But wait — look at #5: Apple is to Tree as Flower is to Plant → so fruit comes from tree, flower comes from plant. That’s similar logic.

So for #3: Wheel is part of bike → Tire is part of car? Hmm. But actually, bikes also have tires. Maybe it’s not perfect.

Alternative idea: Maybe “wheel” is to “bike” as “tire” is to “car” — still acceptable for this level.

But let’s check the answer choices again. “Car” is available. Let’s tentatively say car.

Wait — actually, think differently: What if it’s about function? No, probably parts.

Another thought: Maybe “wheel” is to “bike” as “tire” is to “vehicle” — but “vehicle” isn’t an option. “Car” is closest.

I’ll go with car for now.

4. Land is to Dirt as Ocean is to ______
→ Land is made of dirt (or soil), ocean is made of... water. → Water

5. Apple is to Tree as Flower is to ______
→ Apples grow on trees. Flowers grow on plants. → Plant

6. Toe is to Foot as Finger is to ______
→ Toes are on feet, fingers are on hands. → Hand

7. Day is to Month as Minute is to ______
→ Days make up months. Minutes make up hours. → Hour

8. Purple is to Grapes as Red is to ______
→ Grapes can be purple. What fruit is commonly red? Cherries! And “cherries” is in the box. → Cherries

9. Word is to Sentence as Page is to ______
→ Words make sentences. Pages make books. → Book

10. Small is to Large as Little is to ______
→ Small and large are opposites. Little and... big? Yes, “big” is in the box. → Big

11. Three is to Triangle as Four is to ______
→ A triangle has 3 sides. A shape with 4 sides is a square. → Square

12. Smell is to Nose as Sight is to ______
→ You smell with your nose. You see with your eyes. → Eye

13. Top is to Bottom as Over is to ______
→ Top/bottom are opposites. Over/under are opposites. → Under

14. Punt is to Kick as Pass is to ______
→ In football, a punt is a type of kick. A pass is a type of... throw? Yes! You throw a pass. → Throw

Now let’s double-check #3: Wheel is to Bike as Tire is to Car?

Actually, let’s reconsider: Bikes have wheels AND tires. Cars have wheels AND tires. So maybe it’s not the best.

Wait — perhaps it’s: Wheel is a part of a bike. Tire is a part of a... what else? Maybe “car” is still the intended answer.

Alternatively, could it be “plant”? No, doesn’t fit.

Or “water”? No.

Looking at the word box again: hand, hour, cherries, throw, under, big, eye, book, water, plant, car, down, square, stop

“Car” is the only vehicle-related word besides “bike” which is already used.

Perhaps the analogy is: Wheel is essential to bike, tire is essential to car — even though bikes have tires too, in elementary analogies, they might simplify it.

Another angle: Maybe “wheel” refers to the whole assembly, and “tire” is the rubber part — but that’s overcomplicating.

I think for Grade 3, “car” is acceptable.

But wait — let’s see if there’s a better match.

What if: Wheel is to Bike as Tire is to Vehicle — but no “vehicle”.

Alternatively, maybe it’s “plant”? No.

Actually, I recall sometimes these analogies use: Wheel : Bike :: Tire : Car — yes, that’s standard in many workbooks.

So I’ll stick with car.

Final list:

1. Down
2. Stop
3. Car
4. Water
5. Plant
6. Hand
7. Hour
8. Cherries
9. Book
10. Big
11. Square
12. Eye
13. Under
14. Throw

All words from the box are used? Let’s check:

Used: down, stop, car, water, plant, hand, hour, cherries, book, big, square, eye, under, throw

Box had: hand, hour, cherries, throw, under, big, eye, book, water, plant, car, down, square, stop → all 14 used. Perfect.

No duplicates, all accounted for.

Final Answer:
1. down
2. stop
3. car
4. water
5. plant
6. hand
7. hour
8. cherries
9. book
10. big
11. square
12. eye
13. under
14. throw
