listening 3rd grade worksheet - Free Printable

Since this is a listening comprehension test, the correct answers depend on an audio recording that is not provided. However, we can use logic and context clues from the questions themselves to make very strong educated guesses for most of them.

Let’s go step by step:

---

Question 1: What is the weather like?
Options: A. Cloudy, B. Cold, C. Raining, D. Sunny
→ The title is “Picnic in the Park”. People usually have picnics when the weather is nice — sunny and warm. Rain or cold would ruin a picnic. So D. Sunny is the most logical answer.

---

Question 2: Where is the family going?
Options: A. Cinema, B. Park, C. Post office, D. Zoo
→ The title says “Picnic in the Park”, and Question 3 asks “Who went to the park with me?” — so they are definitely going to the park. Answer: B. To a park

---

Question 3: Who went to the park with me?
Options:
A. Dad, mum, brother Tom
B. Grandma, mum, dad
C. Mum, sister Jen, brother Tom
D. Sister Pat, brother Jim

→ We don’t know for sure without audio, but notice that in Question 5B it says: “My sister’s name is Jen.” That suggests Jen exists and is part of the story. Also, Option C includes “mum, sister Jen, and brother Tom” — which matches common family structures in these tests. But wait — let’s look at Question 5 again.

Actually, since Question 5B says “My sister’s name is Jen”, and if we assume that statement is true (we’ll check later), then Jen is likely one of the people who went. Also, Option C has Jen and Tom — two siblings plus mum. That seems plausible.

But hold on — let’s look at Question 5D: “We take a train to get there.” If that’s false (which it probably is — parks are usually walked to or driven to, not taken by train unless specified), then maybe we can eliminate some options.

Actually, let’s hold off and come back after looking at all clues.

Wait — here’s a better approach: In many such listening tests, the narrator often mentions their immediate family. Since the girl is talking about “her day”, and she says “with me”, it’s likely her parents and siblings.

Also, note that in Question 5A: “My brother likes animals.” — implies she has a brother. And 5B: “My sister’s name is Jen.” — implies she has a sister named Jen.

So if she has both a brother and a sister named Jen, then Option C (“My mum, my sister Jen and my brother Tom”) fits perfectly — assuming the brother’s name is Tom.

Option A also has brother Tom, but no sister.

Option D has sister Pat and brother Jim — doesn’t match “Jen”.

Option B has grandma — possible, but less likely unless mentioned.

Given that 5B specifically names Jen as the sister, and 5A mentions a brother (likely Tom, as he appears in A and C), C is the best fit.

Question 4: What can we find in the park?
Options:
A. Lots of trees and colourful flowers.
B. Small rocks and a lot of grass.
C. Some green plants without flowers.
D. Three big lakes and a house.

→ Parks typically have trees, grass, flowers. “Colourful flowers” sounds more descriptive and positive — likely what a child would mention. Lakes? Maybe, but “three big lakes and a house” sounds too specific and unusual for a regular park. Rocks? Possible, but not typical highlight. Plants without flowers? Unlikely — kids notice colorful things.

Also, in Question 5C: “There is a small lake with ducks.” — so there IS a lake, but it’s SMALL, not three big ones. So D is wrong.

Therefore, A is most reasonable: Lots of trees and colourful flowers.

Question 5: Write Yes or No

A. My brother likes animals.
→ From Question 5C: “There is a small lake with ducks.” — if they saw ducks, and the brother liked animals, that makes sense. Also, in many stories, boys like animals. Likely Yes.

B. My sister’s name is Jen.
→ This is stated directly in the question itself as something to verify. Since it’s presented as a fact to confirm, and we used it to choose Q3, it’s probably Yes.

C. There is a small lake with ducks.
→ As above, this is mentioned in the question, and fits with park scenery. Also, contrasts with Q4’s “three big lakes” — so this is likely true. Yes.

D. We take a train to get there.
→ Very unlikely. Picnics in local parks are usually reached by walking, car, or bus — not train. Unless it’s a special trip, but nothing suggests that. Probably No.

---

Now, double-checking consistency:

- Weather: Sunny → makes sense for picnic.
- Going to park → obvious from title.
- Went with mum, Jen, Tom → matches sibling names from Q5.
- Park has trees/flowers → standard, and avoids contradiction with “small lake” in Q5C.
- Brother likes animals → yes, because they saw ducks.
- Sister is Jen → yes, stated.
- Small lake with ducks → yes, mentioned.
- Train? No — impractical.

All consistent.
