11 Homophones Printable Flashcards. Preschool-1st Grade by Teach ... - Free Printable

Looking at the image, you’re presented with 6 matching cards — each has a picture and two words (one correct, one incorrect). The task is likely to identify and match the correct word to the picture by crossing out or ignoring the misspelled or incorrect word.

Let’s go through each card:

---

Card 1:
- Picture: A child eating
- Words: ate / eight
✔ Correct word: ate
✘ Incorrect: “eight” is a number, not related to eating.

---

Card 2:
- Picture: The number 8
- Words: 8 / eight
✔ Correct word: eight
✘ Incorrect: “8” is the numeral, not the word — but since the task is about *spelling/word matching*, “eight” is the correct *word* for the picture.

*(Note: In some contexts, showing the numeral “8” and the word “eight” together is meant to reinforce number-word correspondence. But since the other cards have misspellings, here “8” is likely meant to be ignored as it’s not a word.)*

---

Card 3:
- Picture: A soccer ball
- Words: ball / bawl
✔ Correct word: ball
✘ Incorrect: “bawl” means to cry loudly — it’s a homophone but wrong meaning.

---

Card 4:
- Picture: A baby (or doll)
- Words: bowl / bawl
✔ Correct word: bawl? Wait — this is tricky.
Actually, neither word matches the picture well.

But let’s look again:
- “bowl” = container for food
- “bawl” = to cry loudly

The picture is clearly a baby, so perhaps the intended correct word is “baby” — but it’s not listed.

Wait — maybe there’s a typo in the card? Or perhaps the intended match is “bawl” because babies cry? That seems forced.

Alternatively, if we assume the picture is meant to represent “bawl” (as in a crying baby), then “bawl” would be correct, and “bowl” is wrong.

➡️ Most likely intention: Picture of a crying baby → bawl is correct; “bowl” is incorrect.

*(This is the weakest match — possibly an error in the worksheet, but we’ll go with “bawl” as the intended correct word.)*

Card 5:
- Picture: A sack of flour
- Words: flour / flower
✔ Correct word: flour
✘ Incorrect: “flower” is a plant — common homophone confusion.

---

Card 6:
- Picture: A potted flower
- Words: flour / flower
✔ Correct word: flower
✘ Incorrect: “flour” is baking ingredient — again, homophone mix-up.

## ✔ Final Matching Answers:

| Picture | Correct Word | Why the Other is Wrong |
|-----------------|--------------|------------------------------------|
| Child eating | ate | “eight” is a number |
| Number 8 | eight | “8” is numeral, not a word |
| Soccer ball | ball | “bawl” = to cry |
| Baby (crying?) | bawl | “bowl” = container |
| Sack of flour | flour | “flower” = plant |
| Potted flower | flower | “flour” = baking ingredient |

## 💡 Teaching Tip:
This activity helps children learn homophones (words that sound alike but have different meanings/spellings) and reinforces picture-word association.

You can extend this by having students:
- Circle the correct word
- Cross out the incorrect one
- Write the correct spelling
- Use each word in a sentence

✔ Summary Answer:

Match the pictures to the correctly spelled word:

1. ate
2. eight
3. ball
4. bawl *(assuming the baby is crying)*
5. flour
6. flower

*(Note: Card 4 is ambiguous — if the image is just a baby (not crying), it may be an error. But given context, “bawl” is the best fit.)*
