Step-by-step solution for: Alliteration Worksheet | PDF
Let’s solve this step by step.
We are looking for words that start with the same letter as the name in each sentence — that’s what “alliteration” means here. The example says:
Angry Adam ate ants. → All words start with “A”.
Now let’s look at each sentence:
---
1. Wobbly Will __________ wellies.
- Name starts with W
- Object is “wellies” (also starts with W)
- We need a verb starting with W from the box.
- Words starting with W in the box: wears, wins, wiggles, wobbles? Wait — “wobbles” isn’t in the box. Let’s check the list again:
Box words:
- wears ✔ (starts with W)
- chews
- licks
- juggles
- likes
- wins ✔
- chomps
- wiggles ✔
- spills
- shakes
- jiggles
- loves
So possible W words: wears, wins, wiggles
Which makes sense? “Wobbly Will wears wellies.” → Yes! That fits perfectly. He’s wobbly, so he wears wellies (boots) to stay steady or dry.
✔ Answer for #1: wears
---
2. Cheeky Charlie __________ cheese.
- Name starts with C
- Object is “cheese” (also C)
- Need a verb starting with C
From the box:
- chews ✔
- chomps ✔
Both could work, but which is more fun/cheeky? “Chomps” sounds bigger and cheekier than “chews”. Also, “chomps cheese” is a common playful phrase.
✔ Answer for #2: chomps
*(Note: “chews” also starts with C and could be correct, but “chomps” is more vivid and matches “cheeky” better.)*
---
3. Lovely Laura __________ lollipops.
- Name starts with L
- Object is “lollipops” (also L)
- Need a verb starting with L
From the box:
- licks ✔
- likes ✔
- loves ✔
All three start with L. Which one fits best?
“Lovely Laura licks lollipops.” → Makes sense — you lick lollipops.
“Likes” or “loves” are feelings, not actions. Since the example used an action (“ate”), we should pick an action word.
✔ Answer for #3: licks
---
4. Jumping Jemima __________ jelly.
- Name starts with J
- Object is “jelly” (also J)
- Need a verb starting with J
From the box:
- juggles ✔
- jiggles ✔
“Jumping Jemima juggles jelly.” → Possible, but jelly is squishy — hard to juggle.
“Jumping Jemima jiggles jelly.” → Yes! Jelly jiggles when you jump or shake it. And “jiggles” starts with J.
Also, there’s a picture of jelly wobbling — supports “jiggles”.
✔ Answer for #4: jiggles
---
5. Sneaky Sarah __________ sugar.
- Name starts with S
- Object is “sugar” (also S)
- Need a verb starting with S
From the box:
- spills ✔
- shakes ✔
“Sneaky Sarah spills sugar.” → Could be sneaky if she does it on purpose.
“Sneaky Sarah shakes sugar.” → Less clear why that’s sneaky.
But wait — there’s another possibility: “steals”? Not in the box.
Looking again — “spills” and “shakes” are the only S verbs.
Actually… “sneaky” might imply hiding or taking secretly. But none of the S words mean “takes secretly”.
Wait — maybe “spills” can be sneaky if she pretends it was an accident? Or perhaps “shakes” doesn’t fit well.
Hold on — did we miss any? Let’s recheck the box:
Words: wears, chews, licks, juggles, likes, wins, chomps, wiggles, spills, shakes, jiggles, loves
Only spills and shakes start with S.
Between them, “spills” feels more likely to be associated with sneakiness — like spilling sugar to make a mess or hide something.
But actually… think about the image: there’s a bag of sugar spilled out. So “spills” matches the picture too!
✔ Answer for #5: spills
