AG Word Family Picture Match Cut-and-Paste Printable PDF ... - Free Printable

Let's solve this "Cut, Paste, and Write" worksheet step by step.

Instructions Recap:

- Cut out the letters at the bottom of the page: l, r, n, t, w
- For each row:
- Look at the picture.
- Choose the correct letter from the cut-out letters to complete the word (which ends in ag).
- Paste the correct letter in the blank box.
- Then write the full word on the line to the right.

---

Step-by-Step Solution:

We are given five pictures. Each picture represents a word that ends with "ag", and we need to fill in the missing first letter using one of the cut-out letters: l, r, n, t, w

#### 1. Picture: Dog
- The dog is running or playing.
- Word ending in ag → likely dog? But wait — it’s not *dog*, it's dog doesn't end in ag.
Wait — look closely: The picture is a dog, but the word must end in ag.

But let's check the possible words:

We have letters: l, r, n, t, w

And all words end in a g → so possible words:
- bag → starts with b → not in our list
- rag → starts with r ✔
- tag → starts with t ✔
- lag → starts with l ✔
- wag → starts with w ✔
- snag → starts with s → not in list
- flag → starts with f → not in list

So possible words: rag, tag, lag, wag

Now match each picture:

---

#### 1. First picture: Dog
- A brown dog running.
- Could this be dog? But the word has to end in ag, so maybe it's wag?
Wait — “wag” is a dog’s tail wagging. This dog looks like it’s wagging its tail!
→ So the word is wag
- Missing letter: w
- So paste w in front of a g
- Write: wag

✔ Answer: wag

---

#### 2. Second picture: Yellow tag
- A yellow label or tag hanging.
- Word: tag
- Starts with t
- So paste t
- Write: tag

✔ Answer: tag

---

#### 3. Third picture: Two kids running
- Kids running or racing.
- Word: rag? Not really.
- Wait — could it be rag? No, that’s clothing.
- Or tag? Like “tag” game!
- Yes! They’re playing tag!
- So word is tag → already used?

Wait — we only have one t, so can’t use twice.

But let’s recheck.

Wait — the third picture shows two kids chasing each other — classic tag game!

But second picture was a tag (label). So both are “tag”? That would be confusing.

Wait — maybe I misread.

Let’s go again.

---

Wait — second picture: a yellow tag (like a price tag) → tag

Third picture: two kids running — one chasing the other → they're playing tag → also tag

But we can’t use t twice.

So maybe the third one is not tag?

Alternative: Is there another word?

What about rag? Doesn’t fit.

lag? “Lag” means to fall behind — maybe one kid is lagging?

But the picture shows both kids running — possibly one chasing the other.

But tag is more accurate.

Wait — perhaps the second picture is tag (the object), and the third is tag (the game)? But same word.

But we only have one t.

So maybe I made a mistake.

Wait — the cut-out letters are: l, r, n, t, w

So only one of each.

So we need five different words.

Let’s list possible _ag words using those starting letters:

- l + ag = lag
- r + ag = rag
- n + ag = nag (as in "to nag", or a horse?)
- t + ag = tag
- w + ag = wag

So possible words: lag, rag, nag, tag, wag

Now match to pictures.

---

#### 1. Dog (tail wagging) → wag
- Tail wagging → wag
- Use w
- ✔ wag

#### 2. Yellow tag → tag
- A label → tag
- Use t
- ✔ tag

#### 3. Two kids running → tag? But we already used t.

Wait — unless it’s rag? But no.

Or lag? One kid falling behind?

But the image shows both running — possibly tag game.

But if both are tag, that’s a problem.

Wait — maybe the third picture is rag? But no rag visible.

Alternatively, maybe the third picture is run? But the word must end in ag.

Wait — perhaps the third picture is rag? No.

Wait — what about nag?

A nag is a horse that keeps bothering you — or a person who complains.

But the picture shows two kids running — not a nag.

Wait — maybe the fourth picture is rag?

Let’s go in order.

---

Let’s analyze each picture carefully:

1. Dog → tail wagging → wag → w
2. Yellow tag → tag → t
3. Two kids running → tag? But t already used → conflict.

Wait — unless the third picture is rag?

No — no rag.

Wait — what if the third picture is rag? But no.

Wait — maybe the fourth picture is rag?

Fourth picture: Hand holding a blue cloth → cleaning? Wiping something.

That’s a rag!

Yes! A rag is a cloth used for cleaning.

So fourth picture: rag → uses r

Then third picture: two kids running — could be tag? But t used in second.

Wait — second is tag (label), third is tag (game)? Can’t reuse t.

But the cut-out letters are: l, r, n, t, w — one of each.

So we must assign one unique letter per row.

So we need five different words: wag, tag, rag, lag, nag

Now assign:

1. Dog → wag → w
2. Yellow tag → tag → t
3. Kids running → tag? But t already used → conflict.

Wait — maybe the kids running is lag?

“Lag” means to fall behind.

But both kids seem to be running together — not necessarily one lagging.

But perhaps one is slightly behind.

Alternatively, maybe the third picture is rag? But no rag.

Wait — the fourth picture is hand with cloth → clearly rag → r

Fifth picture: Dog sniffing shorts — someone’s pants — dog is sniffing.

Could this be nag?

A nag is a horse, but also a person who bothers.

But here it’s a dog — not a horse.

Wait — nag as in “nagging”?

But the dog is sniffing — not nagging.

Wait — nag could be a nagging dog?

Unlikely.

Wait — perhaps lag?

“Lag” means to fall behind — but not fitting.

Wait — nag as in nag (horse)? But the dog is not a horse.

Wait — perhaps nag is not fitting.

Wait — maybe the fifth picture is nag? But it's a dog.

Wait — perhaps the fifth picture is dog? But the word must end in ag.

Wait — maybe I misread.

Let’s look at the pictures again:

1. Dog → wag → w
2. Yellow tag → tag → t
3. Kids running → ? → maybe tag? But t used.

Unless the kids running is lag?

“Lag” means to fall behind — so if one kid is behind, it could be lag.

But the word would be lag, which uses l

So:

- lag → l
- rag → r
- nag → n
- tag → t
- wag → w

So now assign:

1. Dog → wag → w
2. Yellow tag → tag → t
3. Kids running → lag? → l → if one is behind
4. Hand with cloth → rag → r
5. Dog sniffing shorts → nag? → n

But nag doesn’t make sense — dog isn’t a nag.

Wait — nag as in “nagging” — the dog is bothering the person? Sniffing their pants — could be seen as nagging?

But it’s a stretch.

Alternatively, is there a word snag? But s not available.

Wait — what about bag? But b not in cut-outs.

Wait — perhaps the fifth picture is bag? But no bag shown.

Wait — the fifth picture: dog sniffing shorts — maybe it’s nag as in nag (horse)? No.

Wait — perhaps the fifth picture is rag? But no rag.

Wait — let’s think differently.

Maybe the third picture is rag? But no.

Wait — the fourth picture is rag — yes.

So:

- Picture 4: hand with cloth → rag → r

- Picture 3: kids running → tag? But t used.

Wait — unless the second picture is not tag?

Second picture: yellow tag → tag → seems obvious.

But maybe it’s bag? But b not available.

Wait — the bottom cut-out letters are: l, r, n, t, w

So only these.

So words must be:

- wag (dog)
- tag (yellow tag)
- rag (cloth)
- lag (one kid behind?)
- nag (dog bothering person?)

But nag is a stretch.

Wait — perhaps the fifth picture is nag as in nagging dog?

But it’s a common theme in such worksheets — a dog nagging someone.

So maybe it’s acceptable.

But let’s try to find better matches.

Wait — what if the third picture is lag?

“Lag” means to fall behind — if one kid is behind, it’s lag.

So:

1. Dog → wag → w
2. Yellow tag → tag → t
3. Kids running → lag → l
4. Hand with cloth → rag → r
5. Dog sniffing shorts → nag → n

Now, does nag make sense?

A nag is a person who complains, or a horse.

But in some contexts, a dog that won’t leave you alone is called a nag.

But it’s unusual.

Wait — is there a better word?

What about snag? But s not available.

Wait — maybe the fifth picture is bag? But no bag.

Wait — the fifth picture shows a dog sniffing someone’s pants — maybe it’s bag? But no bag.

Wait — perhaps the dog is wagging — so wag — already used.

Wait — maybe the first picture is dog — but the word is wag — because the tail is wagging.

Yes — that makes sense.

So:

1. Dog (tail wagging) → wag → w
2. Yellow tag → tag → t
3. Kids running → tag? But t used.

Conflict.

Unless the kids running is rag? No.

Wait — perhaps the third picture is lag — one kid behind.

But both look similar.

Wait — maybe the fifth picture is nag — dog is nagging.

But let’s see the official solution.

Wait — perhaps I missed something.

Let’s look at the letters at the bottom: l, r, n, t, w

So the words are:

- wag → w
- tag → t
- rag → r
- lag → l
- nag → n

So we must use all five.

Now match:

1. Dog → wag → w
2. Yellow tag → tag → t
3. Kids running → lag? → l
4. Hand with cloth → rag → r
5. Dog sniffing shorts → nag → n

Even though nag is a stretch, it might be intended.

Alternatively, maybe the fifth picture is nag as in a nagging dog.

Yes — in some educational materials, they use nag for a dog that won’t stop bothering.

So likely:

Final Answers:

1. Dog → wag → paste w, write wag
2. Yellow tag → tag → paste t, write tag
3. Kids running → lag → paste l, write lag
4. Hand with cloth → rag → paste r, write rag
5. Dog sniffing shorts → nag → paste n, write nag

Wait — but lag for kids running? “Lag” means to fall behind — so if one kid is behind, it’s lag.

But the word lag is not commonly used in this context.

Wait — perhaps the third picture is rag? But no rag.

Wait — maybe the fourth picture is rag — yes.

But rag is a cloth.

So:

- Fourth: rag → r
- Third: kids running → tag? But t used.

Wait — unless the second picture is not tag.

Wait — what if the second picture is bag? But b not in cut-outs.

No.

Wait — perhaps the second picture is tag — yes.

But then tag appears twice.

But we only have one t.

So cannot use t twice.

Therefore, the kids running cannot be tag.

So it must be lag.

Similarly, the fifth picture must be nag.

So despite the stretch, that’s the only way.

Alternatively, maybe the fifth picture is bag? But no bag.

Wait — the fifth picture shows a dog sniffing shorts — maybe it’s snag? But s not available.

No.

So the only logical assignment is:

1. Dog → wag → w
2. Yellow tag → tag → t
3. Kids running → lag → l
4. Hand with cloth → rag → r
5. Dog sniffing shorts → nag → n

Yes.

Final Answer:

| Picture | Word | Letter to Paste | Written Word |
|--------|------|------------------|--------------|
| Dog | wag | w | wag |
| Tag (label) | tag | t | tag |
| Kids running | lag | l | lag |
| Cloth | rag | r | rag |
| Dog sniffing shorts | nag | n | nag |

Instructions for student:

- Cut out the letters: l, r, n, t, w
- For each row:
- Identify the picture
- Choose the correct letter to complete the word ending in ag
- Paste the letter in the blank box
- Write the full word on the line

Completed Worksheet:

1. Dog → w + a + g → wag
2. Tag → t + a + g → tag
3. Kids → l + a + g → lag
4. Cloth → r + a + g → rag
5. Dog sniffing → n + a + g → nag

✔ All letters used once.

So the solution is:

- Row 1: wag
- Row 2: tag
- Row 3: lag
- Row 4: rag
- Row 5: nag

This is the most logical completion based on the available letters and images.
