Musical Instruments online exercise for Kindergarten - Free Printable

Let's solve this matching puzzle step by step.

Objective:

Match each musical instrument (represented by a letter and an image) to its correct name, which is partially written in dotted letters. We need to fill in the missing first letter of each word.

---

Step 1: Identify the instruments

We have five instruments with letters and images:

1. V – Image of a violin
2. P – Image of a drum
3. F – Image of a piano
4. D – Image of a guitar
5. G – Image of a flute

---

Step 2: Match each letter to the correct instrument name

Now look at the words on the right:

- _rum → This should be drum → So the missing letter is D
- _uitar → This should be guitar → Missing letter is G
- _iano → This should be piano → Missing letter is P
- _iolin → This should be violin → Missing letter is V
- _ute → This should be flute → Missing letter is F

---

Step 3: Match the letters to the correct lines

Now let’s match each letter (V, P, F, D, G) to the correct word:

1. V → violin → matches with _iolin → Fill in V
2. P → piano → matches with _iano → Fill in P
3. F → flute → matches with _ute → Fill in F
4. D → drum → matches with _rum → Fill in D
5. G → guitar → matches with _uitar → Fill in G

---

Final Answer:

| Letter | Instrument | Word | Missing Letter |
|--------|------------|-------------|----------------|
| V | Violin | _iolin | V |
| P | Piano | _iano | P |
| F | Flute | _ute | F |
| D | Drum | _rum | D |
| G | Guitar | _uitar | G |

So, the completed worksheet should have:

- V → V iolin
- P → P iano
- F → F lute
- D → D rum
- G → G uitar

✔ All matched correctly!

Explanation for the child:

Each letter stands for the first letter of the instrument’s name. Look at the picture and think of the name. Then write the first letter in the blank space before the dotted word.

For example:
- The picture of the violin has "V" next to it, and the word is "_iolin", so you write V.
- The drum has "P", but wait — no! Wait, let’s double-check the images.

Wait — there’s a mistake here.

Let’s double-check the image labels:

Looking at the image again:

- V is next to the violin → Correct
- P is next to the drum → But drum starts with D, not P
- F is next to the piano → Piano starts with P, not F
- D is next to the guitar → Guitar starts with G, not D
- G is next to the flute → Flute starts with F, not G

Ah! There’s a mismatch between the letters and the pictures.

But the task is to match the letter to the correct word, based on the image.

So we must ignore the letter beside the image and instead use the image to determine the instrument, then match it to the correct word.

Let’s re-analyze carefully.

---

Correct Approach:

We have:

1. Image: Violin → Name: violin → Starts with V
- But the letter shown is V → So this one is correct.

2. Image: Drum → Name: drum → Starts with D
- But the letter shown is P → That’s wrong.

3. Image: Piano → Name: piano → Starts with P
- But the letter shown is F → Wrong.

4. Image: Guitar → Name: guitar → Starts with G
- But the letter shown is D → Wrong.

5. Image: Flute → Name: flute → Starts with F
- But the letter shown is G → Wrong.

So the letters (V, P, F, D, G) are not the initials of the instruments shown.

But the task is likely asking us to match the instrument image to the correct word, and fill in the first letter of the word.

The letters (V, P, F, D, G) are just labels for the rows, not necessarily correct initials.

So we need to:

- Look at the image
- Find the correct word from the list: flute, violin, drum, guitar, piano
- Then fill in the missing first letter of that word

So let’s go row by row:

---

Row 1:

- Image: Violin
- Word: _iolin → must be violin
- So missing letter is V
- Write V

Row 2:

- Image: Drum
- Word: _rum → must be drum
- So missing letter is D
- Write D

Row 3:

- Image: Piano
- Word: _iano → must be piano
- So missing letter is P
- Write P

Row 4:

- Image: Guitar
- Word: _uitar → must be guitar
- So missing letter is G
- Write G

Row 5:

- Image: Flute
- Word: _ute → must be flute
- So missing letter is F
- Write F

Final Answer:

| Letter (given) | Image | Word | First Letter to Write |
|----------------|-------------|--------------|------------------------|
| V | Violin | V iolin | V |
| P | Drum | D rum | D |
| F | Piano | P iano | P |
| D | Guitar | G uitar | G |
| G | Flute | F lute | F |

So the answers are:

1. V → V iolin
2. P → D rum
3. F → P iano
4. D → G uitar
5. G → F lute

Even though the letters (V, P, F, D, G) don’t match the instruments, the task is to complete the word based on the image.

So the correct fill-ins are:

- First line: V (for violin)
- Second line: D (for drum)
- Third line: P (for piano)
- Fourth line: G (for guitar)
- Fifth line: F (for flute)

✔ Final Answer:

- V → V iolin
- P → D rum
- F → P iano
- D → G uitar
- G → F lute

This is the correct solution.
