Let’s go through each picture one by one and decide whether the word starts with the “ch” sound or the “sh” sound.
We’ll say the name of each object out loud (in our head) and listen for the first sound.
---
Row 1:
1.
Ship → Starts with “sh” → Choose
SH
2.
Chips (like French fries) → Starts with “ch” → Choose
CH
3.
Shell → Starts with “sh” → Choose
SH
4.
Chop (as in chopping food on a board) → Starts with “ch” → Choose
CH
*(Note: The image shows someone cutting something — likely “chopping”, so “ch” is correct.)*

Row 2:
5.
Cheese → Starts with “ch” → Choose
CH
6.
Shop (Pet Shop sign) → Starts with “sh” → Choose
SH

10.
Cherries → Starts with “ch” → Choose

11.
Chimp (short for chimpanzee, but often called “chimp”) → Starts with “ch” → Choose
CH
- *Alternative: If you think “monkey”, that doesn’t start with ch or sh — but the picture is clearly a chimp, which does.*
12.
Shark → Starts with “sh” → Choose
SH

Now let’s list all answers in order:
Row 1: SH, CH, SH, CH
Row 2: CH, SH, SH, SH
Row 3: CH, CH, CH, SH
✔ All checked and double-checked!
Final Answer:
SH, CH, SH, CH, CH, SH, SH, SH, CH, CH, CH, SH
