Long I Worksheets and Activities {NO PREP!} (Long Vowels Worksheets) - Free Printable

Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The goal is to identify words with the long /i/ sound (like in "kite" or "time") and use them correctly.

---

🔹 Step 1: Identify pictures with the long /i/ sound

We are told to colour the pictures that have the long /i/ sound and then write the words.

Look at the pictures:
1. Teddy bear → *bear* → short 'e' sound → ✘
2. Dog → *dog* → short 'o' → ✘
3. Toy car → *car* → short 'a' → ✘
4. Robot → *robot* → short 'o' → ✘
5. Watch → *watch* → short 'a' → ✘
6. Button → *button* → short 'u' → ✘
7. Girl holding number 5 → *five*? Wait — maybe she’s showing “5” → but not a word.
8. Pie → *pie* → long /i/ ✔
9. Gate → *gate* → short 'a' → ✘
10. Kite → *kite* → long /i/ ✔
11. Lamp → *lamp* → short 'a' → ✘

But wait — let’s look more closely. The kite has a long /i/ sound. The pie also has a long /i/. Also, the toy car might be associated with the word "ride"? But no — it's just a car.

Wait — perhaps we should consider the word list given on the right side of the page:

> cry, night, bike, spy, dive, tie, hide, my

These are all words with the long /i/ sound.

So now, let's match these to the pictures.

- Bike → toy car? Maybe "ride" the car? But there's no "bike" picture.
- Kite → yes! There’s a kite → ✔
- Pie → yes! There’s a pie → ✔
- Night → no picture of night
- Tie → no tie shown
- Hide → no hiding
- My → girl holding number 5? Not really
- Spy → robot? Possibly?
- Cry → no crying
- Dive → no diving

But wait — look again at the pictures:

- Girl with number 5 → could be "five"? But not shown as a word.
- Robot → could be "spy"? If it's a robot spy?
- Watch → could be "night"? No.
- Lamp → "light"? But not listed.

Wait — kite, pie, and possibly my?

But here’s a better idea: Let’s go back to the word search.

---

🔹 Step 2: Word Search – Find long /i/ words

Given words:
- cry
- night
- bike
- spy
- dive
- tie
- hide
- my

Now, find these in the grid:

```
s z b x c v b n m y
p q i t n i g h t t
y w k x z w q p l i
z x e c h i d e q e
c r y v b r d i v e
```

Let’s find each:

1. cry → bottom row: c r y → yes! Row 5, columns 1–3 → ✔
2. night → second row: n i g h t → columns 5–9 → ✔
3. bike → not visible? Look for b-i-k-e → no "k" next to "i", so probably not in grid.
- Wait: "bike" is not in the grid. But "hide" is: h-i-d-e → row 4: h i d e → columns 5–8 → ✔
4. spy → s-p-y → first row: s-z-b-x-c-v-b-n-m-y → no "p" after "s"
- Check row 2: p-q-i-t-n-i-g-h-t-t → p is first, then q → no "s"
- Row 5: c-r-y-v-b-r-d-i-v-e → no "s"
- So "spy" may not be in the grid.
5. dive → row 5: d-i-v-e → columns 10–13 → ✔
6. tie → t-i-e → look for t, then i, then e → row 3: p l i → no e after
- row 2: t n i g h t → t, then n → no
- row 4: h i d e → i, d, e → no "t"
- row 1: ...m y → no
- So "tie" not found?
7. hide → already found → ✔
8. my → row 1: m y → last two letters → ✔

So words found in word search:
- cry
- night
- hide
- dive
- my

But bike, spy, tie are not in the grid.

Wait — bike: check if "bike" appears vertically or diagonally?

Let’s scan carefully:

- "bike": b-i-k-e
- Look for 'b' → first row: b at col 3, col 7
- Col 3: b → next is x → no
- Col 7: b → next is n → no
- No "k" near any "i" → so "bike" not in grid.

Similarly, "spy": s-p-y → only one "s" at col 1, row 1 → then z → no p → not possible.

"tie": t-i-e → look for t, then i, then e → row 2: t at col 4, then n → no
Row 3: t at col 10 → then l → no
Row 4: t at col 8 → then e → but before that is d → no i

So only cry, night, hide, dive, my are in the grid.

But kite and pie are in the picture section.

Ah! So maybe the pictures represent kite and pie, which have the long /i/ sound.

Let’s re-express:

---

🔹 Step 3: Identify pictures with long /i/ sound

From the pictures:
- Kite → yes → long /i/
- Pie → yes → long /i/

Also, girl with number 5 → could be "five"? But "five" has long /i/, but not pictured.

Wait — "ride"? The toy car — could it be "ride up the toy car"?

Yes! That’s a clue.

And "light" — the lamp → but "light" has long /i/ → but not in word list.

Wait — the word list includes:
- cry
- night
- bike
- spy
- dive
- tie
- hide
- my

Now, let’s think about the sentences:

1. ______ up the toy car. → likely "ride" → but "ride" is not in the list.

But "ride" has long /i/ → but not in the list.

Wait — perhaps the intended words are from the list.

Let’s try to fill the sentences using only the words from the list.

Sentences:

1. ______ up the toy car. → could be "ride" → but not in list.

Wait — what if it's "spy"? "Spy up the toy car"? No.

"Bike"? "Bike up"? No.

"Hide"? "Hide up"? No.

Hmm.

Alternative idea: Maybe the pictures correspond to the words in the list.

Let’s see:

- Robot → could be "spy" → like a spy robot
- Girl with number 5 → "my"? Or "five"? But "five" not in list
- Kite → "kite" not in list
- Pie → "pie" not in list

But the word list has "night", "dive", "hide", "my", "cry", etc.

Wait — "night" → could be the watch? Time → "night"? Maybe.

"Dive" → no diving picture.

"Hide" → maybe behind the gate?

But let’s go back to the word search.

We found:
- cry → row 5, cols 1–3
- night → row 2, cols 5–9
- hide → row 4, cols 5–8
- dive → row 5, cols 10–13
- my → row 1, cols 9–10

So those are the long /i/ words.

Now, can we use these to complete the sentences?

1. ______ up the toy car.

Possible words: ride? But not in list.

Wait — "spy"? "Spy up"? No.

What about "turn"? No.

Wait — perhaps "ride" is implied, but not in list.

Alternatively, maybe the word is "fly"? But not in list.

Another thought: maybe the picture of the toy car is associated with "ride", but "ride" is not in the list.

Wait — perhaps the word list is meant to be used for the word search, and the pictures are separate.

Let’s try to identify which pictures have long /i/ sounds.

List of pictures:

1. Teddy bear → "bear" → short 'e' → ✘
2. Dog → "dog" → short 'o' → ✘
3. Toy car → "car" → short 'a' → ✘
4. Robot → "robot" → short 'o' → ✘
5. Watch → "watch" → short 'a' → ✘
6. Button → "button" → short 'u' → ✘
7. Girl with 5 → "five"? → long /i/ → ✔
8. Pie → "pie" → long /i/ → ✔
9. Gate → "gate" → short 'a' → ✘
10. Kite → "kite" → long /i/ → ✔
11. Lamp → "lamp" → short 'a' → ✘

So the pictures with long /i/ sound are:
- Five (the girl with number 5)
- Pie
- Kite

But "five" isn't in the word list. However, "five" has the long /i/ sound.

Similarly, "kite" and "pie" are not in the list.

But the word list is for the word search.

So perhaps the pictures are to be coloured based on their names having long /i/ sound, regardless of the word list.

So:
- Colour: kite, pie, and girl with 5 (for "five")

Then write the words: kite, pie, five

But "five" isn’t in the word list, but it has the long /i/ sound.

Similarly, "kite" and "pie" do.

Now, for the sentences:

1. ______ up the toy car.

→ Could be "ride"? But not in list.

Wait — "spy"? No.

Another idea: "Turn off the light" → but "light" not in list.

Wait — the lamp is shown → "lamp" → short 'a'

But "light" has long /i/ → but not in list.

But "night" is in the list.

So maybe "The ___ is in the sky." → night? Yes!

"The night is in the sky." → makes sense.

Then:

1. ______ up the toy car. → ??

Wait — "ride"? But not in list.

What about "spy"? "Spy up"? No.

Wait — "bike"? "Bike up"? No.

But "dive"? "Dive up"? No.

Wait — "hide"? "Hide up"? No.

But "my"? "My up"? No.

Hmm.

Wait — perhaps the word is "fly"? But not in list.

Another possibility: the toy car is a "ride", but not in list.

Perhaps the intended answer is "ride", even though not in list.

But let’s check the word search again.

We found:
- cry
- night
- hide
- dive
- my

Now, look at the sentences:

1. ______ up the toy car.

→ Could it be "ride"? But not in list.

Wait — what if it’s "spies"? No.

Wait — maybe "ride" is not needed — perhaps the word is "turn"? But short 'u'.

No.

Wait — perhaps the kite is the key.

"The ____ is in the sky." → kite → yes!

So: "The kite is in the sky."

But "kite" is not in the word list.

But it has the long /i/ sound.

Similarly, "pie" → "I like to eat lime pie."

So:

- "I like to eat lime pie." → perfect.

- "Turn off the light." → but "light" not in list.

But "lamp" is shown — "turn off the lamp" → but "lamp" has short 'a'.

But "light" has long /i/ — so maybe "light" is the word.

But not in list.

Wait — "night" is in the list.

So "The night is in the sky." → okay, but "night" is not in the sky — it's when the sky is dark.

Better: "The kite is in the sky."

So perhaps the intended words are:

- kite
- pie
- ride (for "ride up the toy car")
- light (for "turn off the light")

But none of these are in the provided word list.

But the word list includes:
- cry
- night
- bike
- spy
- dive
- tie
- hide
- my

Let’s try to fit these into the sentences.

1. ______ up the toy car. → "ride"? not in list.

But "bike"? "Bike up"? No.

"Spy"? "Spy up"? No.

"Hide"? "Hide up"? No.

"Turn off the _____." → could be "light", but not in list.

"Hide"? "Turn off the hide"? No.

"Night"? "Turn off the night"? No.

"Light" is not in list.

But "dive"? "Turn off the dive"? No.

"Hide"? "Turn off the hide"? No.

"Spies"? No.

Wait — perhaps the lamp is the "light", and "light" is not in the list, but "night" is.

But "night" is not a thing you turn off.

"Turn off the lamp" — but "lamp" has short 'a'.

But the word search has "dive", "hide", "night", "cry", "my".

Let’s try:

- "I like to eat lime ___."
→ "lime pie" → so "pie" → but not in list.

Wait — "lime hide"? No.

"lime dive"? No.

"lime my"? No.

"lime cry"? No.

So only "pie" makes sense.

But "pie" not in list.

Unless "pie" is not required.

Wait — perhaps the pictures are to be coloured for words with long /i/, and then the words are written from the pictures.

So from the pictures, the words with long /i/ sound are:
- kite
- pie
- five (from the girl with 5)

So colour:
- kite
- pie
- girl with 5

Write: kite, pie, five

Then for the sentences:

1. ______ up the toy car. → "ride" is not in list, but perhaps it's "spy"? No.

Wait — the toy car has an antenna — maybe it's a spy car?

So "Spy up the toy car"? No.

"Ride up"? But "ride" not in list.

Wait — what if it's "my"? "My up"? No.

Another idea: perhaps the word list is for the word search, and the pictures are separate.

But the instruction says: "Colour the pictures that have the long /i/ sound then write the words."

So the words come from the pictures.

So the words are:
- kite
- pie
- five

Then use these to complete the sentences.

But "five" doesn't fit any sentence.

"Ride" is missing.

Wait — perhaps the word list is meant to be used for the sentences, not necessarily from the pictures.

Let’s try:

Use the long /i/ words from the word search: cry, night, hide, dive, my

Now, sentences:

1. ______ up the toy car.

→ "ride"? not in list.

"hide"? "Hide up"? No.

"dive"? "Dive up"? No.

"cry"? "Cry up"? No.

"my"? "My up"? No.

"night"? "Night up"? No.

None work.

But "ride" is not in the list.

Wait — perhaps the word is "ride", and it's not in the list because it's not in the word search.

But the word search has "dive", "hide", "cry", "night", "my"

"Ride" is not in the word search.

But "ride" has long /i/.

But not in list.

Perhaps the intended answers are:

1. ride up the toy car.
2. The kite is in the sky.
3. Turn off the light.
4. I like to eat lime pie.

But "ride", "kite", "light", "pie" are not in the provided word list.

But "kite" and "pie" are not in the list, but they are in the pictures.

So maybe the worksheet expects:

- Colour: kite, pie, five (girl with 5)
- Write: kite, pie, five

Then for sentences:

1. ride up the toy car. → but "ride" not in list.

Unless "ride" is considered, but not in word list.

Perhaps there's a mistake.

Wait — look at the word search again.

Is "ride" in the grid?

Grid:

Row 1: s z b x c v b n m y
Row 2: p q i t n i g h t t
Row 3: y w k x z w q p l i
Row 4: z x e c h i d e q e
Row 5: c r y v b r d i v e

Look for "ride":

- r-i-d-e

In row 5: c r y v b r d i v e

- r at col 2, then y → no
- r at col 6, then d → then i → no

Not "ride"

But "dive" is in row 5: d i v e → col 10–13 → yes

"hide" in row 4: h i d e → col 5–8

"night" in row 2: n i g h t → col 5–9

"cry" in row 5: c r y → col 1–3

"my" in row 1: m y → col 9–10

So the words from the word search are: cry, night, hide, dive, my

Now, let’s try to use these in the sentences.

1. ______ up the toy car.

→ "ride" not in list.

But "dive"? "Dive up"? No.

"hide"? "Hide up"? No.

"cry"? "Cry up"? No.

"my"? "My up"? No.

"night"? "Night up"? No.

No fit.

2. The ______ is in the sky.

→ "kite" would be best, but not in list.

"night" is in list → "The night is in the sky." → grammatically odd, but possible.

3. Turn off the ______.

→ "light" is best, but not in list.

"hide"? No.

"my"? No.

"night"? "Turn off the night"? No.

"cry"? "Turn off the cry"? No.

"hide"? "Turn off the hide"? No.

4. I like to eat lime ______.

→ "pie" is best.

"my"? "lime my"? No.

"cry"? "lime cry"? No.

"hide"? "lime hide"? No.

"night"? "lime night"? No.

So none of the word search words fit.

This suggests that the word search words are not for the sentences, but the pictures are.

So let’s go back.

Final Solution:

#### Part 1: Colour the pictures with long /i/ sound

Pictures with long /i/ sound:
- Kite → "kite" → long /i/
- Pie → "pie" → long /i/
- Girl with number 5 → "five" → long /i/

So colour:
- kite
- pie
- girl with 5

Write the words: kite, pie, five

#### Part 2: Use these words to complete the sentences

1. ______ up the toy car.
→ "ride" is missing, but perhaps it's "five"? No.

Wait — perhaps the word is "ride", and it's not in the pictures, but the toy car implies "ride".

But the instruction says: "Use the long /i/ words you have found" — meaning from the pictures.

So we have: kite, pie, five

"Five" doesn't fit.

"Kite" fits: "The kite is in the sky."

"Pi" is not in the list.

Wait — "pie" fits: "I like to eat lime pie."

"Kite" fits: "The kite is in the sky."

"Ride" is not found.

But "ride" has long /i/, and is common.

Perhaps the intended answer is:

1. ride up the toy car. → but "ride" not in pictures.

Unless the boy with pencil is "ride"? No.

Another idea: perhaps the word list is for the word search, and the pictures are separate, and the sentences use words from the pictures.

So only kite and pie are usable.

For the sentences:

1. ______ up the toy car. → "ride" not available.

2. The ______ is in the sky. → kite

3. Turn off the ______. → "light" not available.

4. I like to eat lime ______. → pie

So perhaps:

- 2. The kite is in the sky.
- 4. I like to eat lime pie.

Then 1 and 3 need other words.

But "ride" and "light" are not in the pictures.

Perhaps "light" is represented by the lamp, and "light" has long /i/, so it should be coloured.

But "light" not in list.

But "light" has long /i/ sound.

So maybe the pictures include:
- lamp → "light" → long /i/

So colour the lamp.

Then write "light".

Similarly, "ride" for the toy car.

But "ride" not in pictures.

So perhaps the intended words are:
- kite
- pie
- light
- ride

Even if not in the word list.

But the word list is for the word search.

So final answer:

✔ Correct Answer:

#### 1. Colour the pictures with long /i/ sound:
- kite
- pie
- lamp (for "light")
- toy car (for "ride")
- girl with 5 (for "five")

But "ride" and "light" are not named, but implied.

But the most clear are:
- kite
- pie

And possibly girl with 5 for "five"

#### 2. Write the words:
- kite
- pie
- five

#### 3. Complete the sentences:

1. ride up the toy car. → "ride" is the word, even if not in pictures.
2. The kite is in the sky.
3. Turn off the light.
4. I like to eat lime pie.

But "ride" and "light" are not in the word list.

Perhaps the worksheet has a mistake.

But based on common usage, the intended answers are:

- 1. ride
- 2. kite
- 3. light
- 4. pie

And for the word search, find: cry, night, hide, dive, my

So the solution is:

---

🟩 Final Answer:

Part 1: Colour and write

Colour:
- The kite
- The pie
- The girl with number 5 (representing "five")

Write the words: kite, pie, five

Part 2: Sentences

1. ride up the toy car.
2. The kite is in the sky.
3. Turn off the light.
4. I like to eat lime pie.

Part 3: Word search

Find in the grid:
- cry → row 5, cols 1–3
- night → row 2, cols 5–9
- hide → row 4, cols 5–8
- dive → row 5, cols 10–13
- my → row 1, cols 9–10

(Other words like "bike", "spy", "tie" are not in the grid.)

---

Note: The words "ride" and "light" are not in the word list or pictures, but are commonly used in context. The worksheet may expect "ride" for the toy car and "light" for the lamp, even if not explicitly listed.
