6 free printable alliteration worksheets - ESL Vault - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to solve this animal alliteration task.

Alliteration means using words that start with the same letter — especially at the beginning of nearby words. In this worksheet, we need to make a sentence for each animal where every word starts with the same letter as the animal’s name.

We’ll look at each animal one by one and build a fun, silly sentence using only words that begin with that letter.

1. Eagle → starts with “E”
We need words starting with E: eagle, eats, eggs, every, evening, etc.

7. Hummingbird → starts with “H” (same as hippo!)

But let’s make it different from the hippo sentence.

Words: hummingbird, hovers, high, heaven, happily, etc.
Sentence idea: *Happy hummingbirds hover high near heavens.*

Check:
- Happy
- Hummingbirds
- Hover
- High
- Near → ✘ “Near” starts with N.

Fix it: → *Happy hummingbirds hover high above homes.*

“above” starts with A — still bad.

Try: *Happy hummingbirds hover high, holding honey.*

Check:
- Happy
- Hummingbirds
- Hover
- High
- Holding
- Honey

All H’s! ✔
