/ck/ Digraph Worksheet for Kids - Includes coloring, sentence completion, and word search activities to practice /ck/ sounds.

Let's solve this fun and educational worksheet step by step. The goal is to identify words with the /ck/ digraph (a combination of letters that make a single sound — in this case, the "ck" sound, like in "sock" or "black").

---

🔹 Step 1: Identify Pictures with the /ck/ Sound

We are told to color the pictures that have the /ck/ sound, then write the words.

Here are the pictures shown:

1. Sock – ✔ has "ck" → /ck/ sound
2. Tiger – ✘ no "ck"
3. Boy with glasses – ✘ not a word
4. Duck – ✔ has "ck" → /ck/ sound
5. Apple – ✘ no "ck"
6. Girl with pigtails – ✘ not a word
7. Log – ✘ no "ck"
8. Girl sleeping – ✘ but she's sick → ✔ "sick" has "ck" → /ck/ sound
9. Hammer – ✘ no "ck"

Wait! Let's be careful. The girl sleeping might represent "sick", which is a clue from the word list.

So the correct images that contain the /ck/ sound are:
- Sock
- Duck
- Sick (represented by the girl in bed)
- Possibly pack? But there’s no pack image.

But wait — look at the word list on the right:
> black, sick, deck, snack, lick, tick, lock, pack

Now let’s match them to images:

| Image | Word | Has /ck/? |
|-------|------|---------|
| Sock | sock | ✔ |
| Duck | duck | ✔ |
| Girl sleeping | sick | ✔ |
| Boy with glasses | ? | ✘ |
| Apple | apple | ✘ |
| Log | log | ✘ |
| Tree | tree | ✘ |
| Tiger | tiger | ✘ |

So only three pictures have /ck/:
✔ Sock
✔ Duck
✔ Girl sleeping (sick)

Wait — what about "pack"? There's no bag or backpack image directly.

But look at the sentence:
> Nick’s bag is on his ________.

That hints at "back", but "back" doesn't have /ck/ — it has "ck"?

Actually, "back" ends in "ck", so it does have the /ck/ sound!

But "back" isn’t in the word list.

Wait — the word list includes:
black, sick, deck, snack, lick, tick, lock, pack

So maybe we need to find which of these words are represented by the pictures.

Let’s go through each word:

- Black → could be the tiger (if it's black) or the girl's polka dot blanket? Not clear.
- Sick → yes, the girl in bed → ✔
- Deck → no image of a deck
- Snack → no food shown
- Lick → no animal licking
- Tick → no insect or clock?
- Lock → maybe the log? No.
- Pack → maybe the boy's bag? He has a striped shirt — maybe he's carrying a bag? Not clear.

But look again — the boy with glasses has a striped shirt — no bag.

Wait — "sock" is clearly shown.

"Duck" is shown.

"Sick" is shown (girl in bed).

Is there a lock? No.

What about "black"? The tiger might be black — possibly.

But the apple is red, not black.

Wait — the tree? No.

Hmm.

But here’s the key: the word search helps us.

---

🔹 Step 2: Word Search

We are to find the /ck/ words in the grid.

List of target words:
- black
- sick
- deck
- snack
- lick
- tick
- lock
- pack

Let’s search the grid:

```
p a c k w a s z y t
s g l o c k n l p i
i s y h j d a i r c
c b l a c k c c v k
k d e c k q k k m z
```

Find each word:

1. pack → Row 1: p-a-c-k → ✔ (top row, first four letters)
2. lock → Row 2: l-o-c-k → ✔ (positions 3-6)
3. black → Row 4: b-l-a-c-k → ✔ (row 4, columns 2–6: b,l,a,c,k)
4. deck → Row 5: d-e-c-k → ✔ (row 5, columns 2–5)
5. sick → Look for s-i-c-k → Is it there?
- Row 2: s,g,l,o,c,k → no "sick"
- Row 3: i,s,y,h,j,d,a,i,r,c → no
- Row 4: c,b,l,a,c,k → no
- Row 5: k,d,e,c,k → no
- But “sick” is not in the grid? Wait — check carefully.

Wait — “sick”: s-i-c-k

Look at row 2: s-g-l-o-c-k → has c-k, but no i before it.

Row 3: i-s-y-h-j-d-a-i-r-c → has “s” and “i”, but not together as “si”.

No “sick” found?

But “sick” is in the word list. Maybe it’s not in the grid?

Wait — check “tick”?

t-i-c-k → t? Only one “t” in top row.

Row 1: ...y,t → t at end.

Row 3: ...r,c → no

Row 4: ...v,k → no

Row 5: ...m,z → no

No “tick”?

But “snack”? s-n-a-c-k → s,n,a,c,k — not in any row.

Wait — “lick”? l-i-c-k → l,i,c,k

Row 2: s,g,l,o,c,k → l,o,c,k — no “i”

Row 3: i,s,y,h,j,d,a,i,r,c → has “i” and “c” but not adjacent

No “lick”?

Wait — “lock” is in row 2: l-o-c-k → ✔

“black” is in row 4: b-l-a-c-k → ✔

“pack” is in row 1: p-a-c-k → ✔

“deck” is in row 5: d-e-c-k → ✔

Now “sick” — is it hidden?

Wait — perhaps “sick” is not in the grid? That can't be.

Wait — look at row 3: i s y h j d a i r c

No “sick”

But “snack”? s-n-a-c-k — no “n” near “s”?

Wait — maybe it’s not all words are in the grid?

But the instructions say: “Find the /ck/ words in the word search.”

And the list includes: black, sick, deck, snack, lick, tick, lock, pack

But only pack, lock, black, deck are visible.

Wait — “sick” — is it possible it's written as “sick” in the grid?

Check if “sick” appears diagonally?

Try:
Row 2: s,g,l,o,c,k
Row 3: i,s,y,h,j,d,a,i,r,c
Row 4: c,b,l,a,c,k

No.

Wait — maybe “snack” is there?

Row 1: p,a,c,k,w,a,s,z,y,t → has “s” and “k”, but no “n” after “s”

Row 4: c,b,l,a,c,k → no

Row 5: k,d,e,c,k,q,k,k,m,z → no

Wait — “lick” — l-i-c-k

Row 2: l,o,c,k — has l,c,k but no i between

Row 3: i,s,y... — has i, but no l next to it

No “lick”

“tick” — t,i,c,k

Only “t” in row 1 at end, then “i” in row 3, etc. — not connected.

Wait — maybe the word search only contains some of the words?

But the list is given — perhaps the student is supposed to find only the ones present.

But “sick” is in the picture (girl in bed), so it must be used.

Let’s go back to the sentences.

---

🔹 Step 3: Complete the Sentences

Use the /ck/ words you found to complete these sentences.

1. He put on his red ________.
→ Picture: sock
→ So answer: sock

2. The ________ is in the pond.
→ Picture: duck
→ Answer: duck

3. She is ________ in bed.
→ Picture: girl sleeping → sick
→ Answer: sick

4. Nick’s bag is on his ________.
→ Picture: boy with glasses → maybe back? But “back” isn’t in the word list.

Wait — the word list has “pack” — maybe Nick’s bag is his pack?

Yes! “Pack” is in the list.

So: Nick’s bag is on his pack — doesn’t make sense.

“On his back” would make sense.

But “back” has “ck” — yes, /ck/ sound.

But “back” is not in the word list.

Wait — “pack” — maybe the bag is called a pack?

Yes — “Nick’s bag is on his pack” — redundant.

Better: “on his back” — but not in list.

Wait — perhaps it’s “deck”?

“No, that doesn’t fit.

Wait — “lock”? “On his lock”? No.

Wait — maybe the picture shows the boy with a backpack?

But the image is just a boy with glasses and a striped shirt — no backpack.

But the word list includes “pack” — so likely, the intended word is pack.

But “on his pack” — awkward.

Wait — maybe “on his back” — but “back” isn’t listed.

But “back” has the /ck/ sound — and the word “pack” is in the list.

Perhaps the sentence is: “Nick’s bag is on his back” — but since “back” isn’t in the word list, maybe it’s “pack” meaning the bag itself.

Wait — “his pack” — but “bag” and “pack” are synonyms.

So: “Nick’s bag is on his pack” — doesn’t make sense.

Unless it’s a typo — maybe “on his back”?

But “back” isn’t in the word list.

Alternatively, maybe the boy is standing on a deck?

But no deck shown.

Wait — look at the word search — we found:

- pack → ✔
- lock → ✔
- black → ✔
- deck → ✔

But “sick” — not in grid.

Wait — “sick” — is it in the grid?

Let me recheck:

Grid:
```
Row 1: p a c k w a s z y t
Row 2: s g l o c k n l p i
Row 3: i s y h j d a i r c
Row 4: c b l a c k c c v k
Row 5: k d e c k q k k m z
```

Is “sick” anywhere?

Try diagonal:
From row 2, column 2: g
No.

Wait — “sick” — s-i-c-k

Look at row 3: i s y h j d a i r c

No “s” followed by “i” and “c” and “k”

But “s” at position (3,2), “i” at (3,1) — so “i” then “s” — no.

Wait — “sick” might be hidden — but not obvious.

Alternatively, maybe the word “sick” is not in the grid, but the picture is enough.

But the instruction says: “Find the /ck/ words in the word search.” — implying all listed words should be found.

But “sick” is missing.

Wait — “snack”? s-n-a-c-k — no “n” in sequence.

“lick” — l-i-c-k — no “l” and “i” together.

“tick” — t-i-c-k — no “t” and “i” together.

But “pack” — ✔
“lock” — ✔
“black” — ✔
“deck” — ✔

So only four words are in the grid.

But the list has eight.

Wait — maybe “snack”?

Look at row 1: p,a,c,k,w,a,s,z,y,t

Has “s” at (1,7), “a” at (1,8), “c” at (1,9), “k” at (1,10) — but that’s “s,a,c,k” — not “snack”

No “n”

Similarly, “lick” — no “l” and “i” adjacent.

Wait — “tick” — t,i,c,k

Row 1: last letter is “t”, then row 2: “s” — no

Row 5: “k” at start — no

So only pack, lock, black, deck are in the grid.

But “sick” is in the picture and needed for the sentence.

So perhaps the word search is meant to find some of the words, not all.

Or maybe I missed something.

Wait — “sick” — is it spelled backwards?

No.

Wait — “sick” — maybe it's “sick” in row 3: i s y h j d a i r c

No.

Wait — “sick” = s-i-c-k

Look at row 2: s,g,l,o,c,k — has “s” and “c” and “k” — but “i” is missing.

No.

Wait — “snack” — s-n-a-c-k

No “n” after “s”

But look at row 4: c,b,l,a,c,k — has “a,c,k” — but no “s” or “n”

No.

So only four words are actually in the grid: pack, lock, black, deck

But the list includes others — maybe they are not required to be in the grid?

Wait — the instruction says: “Find the /ck/ words in the word search” — so only those that appear.

But the picture section is separate.

So let’s focus on the pictures.

🔹 Final Answers

#### ✔ Step 1: Color the pictures with /ck/ sound

Which pictures have /ck/ words?

1. Sock → ✔ (has “ck”)
2. Duck → ✔ (has “ck”)
3. Girl sleeping → represents sick → ✔ (has “ck”)
4. Tiger → if it's black → maybe black → ✔ (has “ck”)

But “black” isn’t directly shown.

But “black” is in the word list.

So if the tiger is black, then color it.

Similarly, log — no

Tree — no

Apple — no

Boy — no

Girl with pigtails — maybe “pack”? No

But “pack” — maybe the boy is holding a pack?

Not shown.

But “lock” — no image

Wait — the hammer? No

But “deck” — no

So the only clear /ck/ words from images are:

- Sock
- Duck
- Sick (girl in bed)

And possibly black (tiger)

But the tiger is not labeled.

So best to go with:

✔ Sock
✔ Duck
✔ Sick (girl in bed)

Then write the words:

> sock, duck, sick

(If you include black, then also black)

But the space is small — probably expect 3 or 4 words.

Now, sentences:

1. He put on his red ________.
→ Picture: sock → sock

2. The ________ is in the pond.
→ Picture: duck → duck

3. She is ________ in bed.
→ Picture: sick girl → sick

4. Nick’s bag is on his ________.
→ Picture: boy with glasses — maybe he has a backpack? But not shown.

But the word list has pack — so likely, the intended word is pack

Even though it’s awkward, “Nick’s bag is on his pack” might mean the bag is on the pack (like a backpack).

Alternatively, maybe it’s back, but not in list.

But “pack” is in the list.

So: pack

Now, word search:

Find the /ck/ words in the grid.

We found:

- pack → row 1: p-a-c-k
- lock → row 2: l-o-c-k
- black → row 4: b-l-a-c-k
- deck → row 5: d-e-c-k

Others: sick, snack, lick, tick — not found.

So only four words are in the grid.

But the list includes them — maybe they are not in the grid, or we missed.

Wait — “sick” — is it “sick” in reverse?

No.

Maybe “snack” — s-n-a-c-k

No “n” in sequence.

But “lick” — l-i-c-k

Row 2: l,o,c,k — has l,c,k — but no “i”

Row 3: i,s,y,... — has “i” and “s” — not “lick”

No.

So only pack, lock, black, deck are in the grid.
