Grade 1 Checkmate worksheet with spelling activities and a word puzzle challenge.

Here are the solutions for your worksheet.

1. Complete the words in the box

First, let's look at the word bank and fill in the missing letters:
* c a t c h (catch)
* a f t e r (after)
* f r i e n d (friend)
* l a r g e (large)

Now, use those words to complete the sentences:
* Did you catch the ball?
* The dog ran after the cat.
* James is my best friend.
* An elephant is a large animal.

2. Choose the correct word

* I could not see the bird in the tree.
*(We use "could" for ability in the past. "Cold" is a temperature.)*
* He got two loaves of bread at the shop.
*(The plural of "loaf" is "loaves".)*
* I heard the plane, but I didn't see it.
*("Heard" relates to listening. "Head" is a body part.)*
* Dad goes to work by bus.
*("Work" is the place or activity. "Walk" is an action you do with your legs.)*

3. Find the words

Looking at the letter grid, here are the hidden words:
* come: Found in the top row (c-o-m-e).
* over: Found in the second column, reading down (o-v-e-r).
* any: Found in the third row (a-n-y).
* their: Found in the bottom row (t-h-e-i-r).

4. Circle the four mistakes

Read the story carefully to find the spelling errors:
1. "every weekend" should be every. (The text says "evry").
2. "go for a work" should be walk. (You go for a walk on the beach).
3. "out of the warta" should be water.
4. "sand crabs" should be crabs. ("Crabs" is the correct spelling; "crabs" with an extra 'b' or similar typo is likely intended, but looking closely at standard Grade 1 errors, "warta" is definitely wrong, "evry" is wrong. Let's look closer at the image text provided in the prompt logic: "evry", "work" (context error), "warta", "seashels" (missing 'l')? Or "crabs"? Let's re-read the provided text in the prompt's OCR or visual analysis.
* Text: "In summer, we go to the beach evry weekend." -> Mistake: evry (should be every)
* Text: "Mum and Dad go for a work on the sand..." -> Mistake: work (should be walk)
* Text: "...run in and out of the warta." -> Mistake: warta (should be water)
* Text: "...pick up seashels." -> Mistake: seashels (should be seashells)

*(Note: Depending on the specific curriculum, "sand crabs" might be considered correct if spelled correctly in the image, but "seashels" is missing an 'l'. If the image says "seashells" correctly, check "crabs". Assuming standard typos: evry, work, warta, seashels).*

Correct words to write on the lines:
1. every
2. walk
3. water
4. seashells
