Let’s think about each picture and what might happen because of it.
First row:
The boy is covered in mud — his face, clothes, shoes, even the ball he’s holding. That means he was playing outside in the mud. What usually happens after you get all muddy? You need to clean up! So the effect could be: “He needs to take a bath” or “His mom will make him wash off.”
Second row:
The red car has smoke coming out from under the hood. That means something is wrong with the engine — maybe it broke down or overheated. When a car breaks like that, what do people do? They call for help or take it to a mechanic. So the effect could be: “The driver calls a tow truck” or “The car won’t start anymore.”
Third row:
One kid is kicking another kid who is holding a frisbee. The kicked kid looks surprised or hurt. Kicking someone is not nice — it can cause pain or make them fall. So the effect could be: “The other kid falls down” or “They start arguing” or “A teacher comes over.”
Now let’s pick simple, clear effects that match each cause:
1. Muddy boy → He gets dirty and needs to clean up.
2. Smoking car → It stops working and needs fixing.
3. Kid getting kicked → He gets hurt or upset.
Final Answer:
- Cause: Boy covered in mud → Effect: He needs to take a bath.
- Cause: Car smoking from hood → Effect: The car broke down and needs repair.
- Cause: One kid kicks another → Effect: The kicked kid gets hurt or cries.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of cause and effect worksheet.
