This worksheet is designed to help children learn how to categorize words or images into
Person,
Place, or
Thing. Each row has an image on the left, and three options (Person, Place, Thing) on the right. The goal is to
circle or mark the correct category for each image.
Let’s go through each image one by one and determine the correct category:

1. Fish
