Worksheet Overview

This is a phonics activity for children learning the "-ing" and "-ing" word endings. The goal is to:

1. Color only the words that end with "-ing" in the first section.
2. Write the "-ing" words next to corresponding pictures.
3. Color only the pictures that represent words ending with "-ing" in the second section.

Step 1: Identify "-ing" Words (First Section)

We are given a list of words in circles:

- bring
- song
- lung
- sting
- sing
- bang

Now, let’s check which ones end with "-ing":

- bring → ends with "ing"? ✔ Yes
- song → ends with "ong"? ✘ No
- lung → ends with "ung"? ✘ No
- sting → ends with "ing"? ✔ Yes
- sing → ends with "ing"? ✔ Yes
- bang → ends with "ang"? ✘ No

✔ So, the words ending in "-ing" are:
- bring
- sting
- sing

👉 Color these three words.

Step 2: Write the "-ing" Words Next to Pictures

There are four pictures in this section:

1. A person flying a kite → This could represent "flying", but no word is given. However, the instruction says "Write the words." But there are no words listed here—only pictures. Let’s assume we need to write the "-ing" words that match the actions.

Wait — looking at the layout:

The pictures are:
- A person flying a kite → action = flying → not on the list
- A person singing → singing
- A person climbing a ladder → climbing
- A bird flying → flying

But none of these words ("flying", "singing", "climbing") appear in the word list.

But wait — the word list has sing, sting, bring, etc.

Only sing appears as a base verb.

So perhaps the idea is to write "sing" under the picture of the person singing?

But the instruction says: "Write the words."

Looking closely: The pictures are:
1. Person flying kite → maybe "flying"?
2. Singing person → "singing"
3. Climbing person → "climbing"
4. Bird flying → "flying"

But those aren't on the word list.

Wait — maybe the word list is meant to be used to identify which words go with the pictures?

Alternatively, perhaps the student should write the "-ing" form of the base verbs from the circle.

But only sing is clearly associated with a picture.

Let’s reconsider.

Actually, the instruction says: "Write the words." — likely meaning: write the "-ing" words from the list that match the pictures.

But only "sing" matches the singing person.

Other pictures:
- Flying kite → "flying" → not in list
- Climbing → "climbing" → not in list
- Bird flying → "flying" → not in list

But “sting” — is there a picture of stinging? No.

“bring” — no picture of bringing.

So perhaps the intention is to write the "-ing" forms of the words that are in the list and match the pictures.

But only sing matches.

Wait — perhaps it's a mistake? Or maybe we're supposed to write the base words?

Let’s look again.

Alternatively, maybe the student is to write the "-ing" words (like "singing", "bringing", "stinging") based on the pictures, even if they’re not in the original list?

But the original list only has sing, bring, sting — all of which can become "-ing".

But the pictures show:
- Singing → so write singing
- Flying → flying
- Climbing → climbing
- Kite flying → flying

But those aren’t in the word list.

So perhaps the only matching one is "sing" → so write "singing" next to the singing picture.

But the instruction says "Write the words." — possibly referring to the "-ing" words from the list.

Wait — perhaps the words to write are the "-ing" forms of the words in the circle?

But the circle has: bring, song, lung, sting, sing, bang.

So the "-ing" forms would be:
- bringing
- singing
- stinging

These are the ones to write.

And then match them to pictures.

So:

- Picture of person singing → write singing
- Picture of person flying kite → maybe flying? Not in list
- Picture of climbing → climbing? Not in list
- Bird flying → flying?

But none of those are in the word list.

Wait — perhaps the pictures are clues for what the "-ing" word is?

But only the singing picture matches a word from the list.

Unless...

Ah! Look at the third picture: a person climbing a ladder.

Is "climb" related to any word? No.

But "sting" — is there a bee or something? No.

Wait — "bang" — could that be a sound? Like "bang" when a hammer hits?

But the pictures don’t show that.

Let’s re-express.

Maybe the word list is just for coloring, and the pictures are separate.

But the instruction says: "Write the words." — and there are blank lines next to each picture.

So likely, students are to write the "-ing" word that describes the picture.

But the only one that matches a word from the list is:

- Singing person → singing

Others:
- Flying kite → flying
- Climbing → climbing
- Bird flying → flying

But those aren't in the list.

Wait — maybe the list is just for the first part, and the writing part is independent?

But the word list includes sing, sting, bring, etc.

Perhaps the student is to write the "-ing" form of the words that are in the circle and end in "-ing".

So from the list: sing, bring, sting → their "-ing" forms are:
- singing
- bringing
- stinging

Then write those next to the appropriate pictures.

But only singing has a matching picture.

So maybe the picture of the singing person gets "singing"

The kite flying → maybe "flying", but not in list.

Hmm.

Wait — perhaps the first section is about identifying "-ing" words, and the second section is about identifying objects that have the word "ring" in them?

Let’s look at the bottom half.

Step 3: Color only the "ring" words (Second Section)

Now we have pictures:

1. A nail (thumbtack) → does it say "ring"? No.
2. A ring (jewelry) → yes, it's a ring
3. A bird (eagle) → "wing"? Maybe? But the word is "ring", not "wing"
4. A chain → could be a "chain ring"? But not directly "ring"
5. A net → no
6. A king (with crown) → "king" — sounds like "ring"?

Wait — the instruction says: "Color only the 'ring' words."

So we’re looking for things whose name contains the word "ring".

Let’s examine each picture:

1. Thumbtack → "pin"? No. "Tack"? No. Not "ring".
2. Ring (jewelry) → ✔ YES — it’s a ring
3. Bird (eagle) → "wing"? Possibly, but not "ring". No.
4. Chain → chain link? Could be "chain ring"? But not a standard "ring"
5. Net → no
6. King → "king" — sounds like "ring"? But not the same word.

But wait — "king" — the word "king" rhymes with "ring", but it's not the same word.

But the instruction says "ring", not "king".

So only the ring (jewelry) is actually named "ring".

But let’s think: Is there a "ring" in other items?

- Chain → a chain ring? In bicycles, yes, but not obvious here.
- Wing — bird has wings → "wing", not "ring"
- King — "king" → not "ring"

But "king" is pronounced /kɪŋ/, and "ring" is /rɪŋ/ — same vowel and ending.

But the task is likely about spelling and word recognition, not pronunciation.

So only the jewelry ring is literally called "ring".

But wait — the thumbtack — sometimes called a "push pin", not "ring".

Chain — not a ring.

But "king" — maybe it's a play on words?

Wait — look at the king picture — he’s wearing a crown.

But the word is "king", not "ring".

However, in some contexts, "king" and "ring" are homophones in pronunciation, but not spelling.

But the worksheet says "ring", not "king".

So only the ring (jewelry) should be colored.

But let’s double-check.

Wait — the chain — is it a chain ring? Unlikely.

But the bird — "wing" — not "ring".

Net — no.

King — "king" — not "ring".

But "king" ends with "-ing", just like "ring"!

Wait — the instruction says: "Color only the 'ring' words."

But "king" is not a "ring" word — it’s a different word.

But perhaps the task is to color the pictures that represent words ending in "ing"?

No — it says "ring", not "ing".

Wait — the title says:

> "-ing"
> Color only the "ing" words.

Then below:

> Color only the "ring" words.

So two parts:

1. First: color words ending in "-ing" (like "sing", "bring")
2. Second: color pictures that represent "ring" (the object)

So:

- In the first part: color sing, bring, sting
- In the second part: color the jewelry ring

But wait — the king picture — is that a "ring"? No.

But "king" ends in "-ing", so maybe it's a trick?

But the instruction says "ring", not "-ing".

So likely, only the jewelry ring is the correct one.

But let’s see: the chain — could it be a ring? No.

Nail — no.

Bird — no.

Net — no.

King — no.

So only the ring should be colored.

But wait — the king might be a pun — "king" vs. "ring" — but that’s not accurate.

Alternatively, maybe the task is to color pictures that have the word "ring" in them.

So:

- Jewelry ring → ✔
- Chain → maybe "chain ring"? Not really
- King → no
- Wing → no
- Net → no
- Nail → no

So only one.

But perhaps the chain is meant to be a ring? Unlikely.

Wait — another possibility: the bird — is it a "wing"? But the instruction says "ring", not "wing".

But "wing" and "ring" are both "-ing" words?

Wait — no — "wing" doesn't end with "-ing" — it ends with "-ng", but not "-ing".

"Sing" ends with "-ing", "ring" ends with "-ing".

"King" ends with "-ing".

"Bring" ends with "-ing".

"Wing" ends with "-ng" — but the suffix is "-ing" only if it's pronounced with the "i" sound.

But "wing" is pronounced /wɪŋ/, so it does end with "-ing".

But the word "wing" is not in the list.

Back to the "ring" section.

Let’s list the pictures:

1. Thumbtack → not "ring"
2. Ring (jewelry) → ✔ YES
3. Bird → "wing"? But not "ring"
4. Chain → not "ring"
5. Net → not "ring"
6. King → "king"? Not "ring"

So only the ring should be colored.

But wait — the king — maybe it’s a trick — because "king" and "ring" are homophones?

But the instruction says "ring", not "king".

So probably only the jewelry ring is correct.

But let’s consider: maybe the chain is a "ring"? No.

Another idea: "ring" as in "ring" (sound)? But no picture of a bell.

So only one.

Final Answers

#### Part 1: Color only the "-ing" words

From the list:
- bring → ✔
- song → ✘
- lung → ✘
- sting → ✔
- sing → ✔
- bang → ✘

👉 Color: bring, sting, sing

#### Part 2: Write the words (next to pictures)

Pictures:
1. Person flying kite → action: flying → but not in list → maybe skip or write "flying"?
2. Singing person → singing
3. Climbing person → climbing
4. Bird flying → flying

But only "singing" is derived from a word in the list.

But perhaps the student is to write the "-ing" form of the words from the list that match.

So:
- Singing person → write singing
- Others — maybe not applicable

But since only sing is in the list, only singing should be written.

But the worksheet has four blank lines — so maybe the student is to write the "-ing" forms of the three words: bringing, singing, stinging — but only one picture matches.

Alternatively, maybe the pictures are not meant to match the words, but the student is to write the "-ing" words from the list.

But the instruction says: "Write the words." — and there are pictures, so likely the words go with the pictures.

But only singing matches.

So perhaps:
- Singing person → singing
- Other pictures → maybe not applicable

But that seems odd.

Wait — maybe the kite flying is "flying", but not in list.

Alternatively, perhaps the "sting" is related to the bird? Like "sting" from a bee? But no bee shown.

Or the "bang" from a gun? But no gun.

So likely, only singing is intended.

So write singing next to the singing person.

But the other blanks may be left blank, or the student is expected to write other "-ing" words.

But the instruction doesn’t specify.

Alternatively, maybe the student is to write the "-ing" forms of the words from the list: bringing, singing, stinging — and place them next to the pictures that suggest those actions.

But only singing has a clear match.

So best guess:
- Singing person → singing
- Others → leave blank or not applicable

But perhaps the climbing person → climbing, but not in list.

So maybe only singing is written.

#### Part 3: Color only the "ring" words

Pictures:
- Thumbtack → no
- Ring (jewelry) → ✔ YES
- Bird → no
- Chain → no
- Net → no
- King → no

So only the jewelry ring should be colored.

But wait — the king — is it possible that the "king" is meant to be colored because "king" ends with "-ing"?

But the instruction says "ring", not "-ing".

So no.

But the chain — could it be a "ring"? No.

So only the ring.

✔ Final Answer Summary

#### 1. Color the "-ing" words:
- ✔ bring
- ✔ sting
- ✔ sing

(Do not color: song, lung, bang)

#### 2. Write the words (next to pictures):
- Singing person → singing
- Other pictures → likely not applicable, or leave blank
- (But if the student is to write the "-ing" forms of the words from the list, write: bringing, singing, stinging, but only singing matches a picture)

So best: write singing next to the singing person.

#### 3. Color only the "ring" words:
- ✔ Jewelry ring (the ring)
- Do not color: thumbtack, bird, chain, net, king
