Fact and Opinion Worksheet | PDF - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and decide if it’s a fact or an opinion.

Remember:
- A fact is something that can be proven true — like numbers, rules of sports, or things you can check.
- An opinion is how someone feels or thinks — words like “fun,” “exciting,” “easy” are clues!

---

1. Football is a fun sport.
→ “Fun” is how someone feels. Not everyone agrees. → Opinion

2. A skateboard has four wheels.
→ You can count them! All standard skateboards have 4 wheels. → Fact

3. A bowling ball has three holes in it.
→ Most bowling balls do (for fingers), but not all — some have two, some none for kids. But in general, this is taught as standard. Let’s say Fact (since it’s commonly accepted as true for regular play).

Wait — actually, let’s double-check: The rule says “has three holes.” Some balls don’t. So maybe it’s not always true? Hmm… In school worksheets, they usually mean the typical adult bowling ball. We’ll go with Fact, because it’s based on common design.

But to be super accurate — if we’re being strict, it’s not *always* true. However, for this level, it’s treated as fact. I’ll stick with Fact.

4. Baseball is better than hockey.
→ “Better” = opinion. People argue about this! → Opinion

5. Ice hockey is played with sticks and a puck.
→ Yes! That’s part of the official rules. → Fact

6. Yo-Yo tricks are really exciting!
→ “Exciting” = feeling. Someone might think they’re boring. → Opinion

7. Tennis can be played on grass or clay courts.
→ True! Wimbledon uses grass, French Open uses clay. → Fact

8. Being a soccer goalie is easy.
→ “Easy” = opinion. Many goalies would disagree! → Opinion

9. In basketball, a free throw is worth one point.
→ Official rule: yes, 1 point. → Fact

10. Swimming is a water sport.
→ By definition, swimming happens in water. → Fact
