Onomatopoeia worksheet for students to identify and use sound words in sentences.

Let’s go step by step to solve each sentence.

---

Part 1: Write the onomatopoeia in each sentence.

We look for words that *sound like* what they describe — these are already in the sentences!

1. “The leaves crunched under my feet...” → The sound is crunch
2. “The mouse made a loud squeak...” → The sound is squeak
3. “Belfort made a tremendous splash...” → The sound is splash
4. “The clanging pots and pans...” → The sound is clang (or clanging, but we usually use base form)
5. “...loud hissing of the slithering snake...” → The sound is hiss

Note: We write the root word (without -ing or -ed) unless the sentence needs it — but since the instruction says “write the onomatopoeia”, we pick the sound word as it appears or its base form. In most cases, the verb itself is the onomatopoeia.

So:

1. crunch
2. squeak
3. splash
4. clang
5. hiss

*(Some might argue “clanging” or “hissing” — but typically worksheets expect the base sound word. Let’s stick with base forms.)*

Part 2: Complete each sentence using an onomatopoeic word from the box.

Box words: chatter, snap, splat, boom, swish, pop

6. Cario’s ice cream cone went ________ on the classroom floor.
→ Ice cream falling makes a wet, flat sound → splat

7. As the storm approached Jimmy heard the thunder ________.
→ Thunder goes boom

8. My teeth started to ________ outside in the cold.
→ Teeth shaking/chattering in cold → chatter

9. The popcorn went ________ as soon as Marcia put it in the microwave.
→ Popcorn kernels make a pop sound

10. I heard my teacher’s ruler ________ across the desk.
→ A quick sliding/swiping sound → swish

Wait — let’s double-check #10. Could it be “snap”? Rulers can snap if broken, but here it says “across the desk” — implies movement, not breaking. So swish fits better.

Also check unused words: We used splat, boom, chatter, pop, swish → left with snap. Is there a better fit?

Actually, re-reading #10: “I heard my teacher’s ruler ________ across the desk.” If the ruler was dragged quickly, “swish” is good. But sometimes rulers are tapped or snapped against desks. However, “across” suggests motion, so swish still best.

But wait — maybe “snap” could work if it’s being flicked? Unlikely. Let’s stick with swish.

Alternatively, perhaps “snap” is meant for something else? Let’s see if any other sentence could take “snap”.

No — all others are clearly matched.

Actually, let’s reconsider #6: “ice cream cone went ___ on the floor” — definitely splat

#7: thunder → boom

#8: teeth in cold → chatter

#9: popcorn → pop

#10: ruler across desk → swish

That uses: splat, boom, chatter, pop, swish → leaves snap unused. That’s okay — not all words need to be used? Wait, the instruction says “using an onomatopoeic word from the box” — doesn’t say use all. But usually in such exercises, you use one per blank, and there are 5 blanks and 6 words — so one extra. That’s fine.

But let’s check again — maybe #10 should be “snap”? Like snapping a ruler? But it says “across the desk”, which implies dragging, not snapping.

Perhaps “swish” is correct.

Another thought: Maybe “snap” is for #4? No, #4 is already done in Part 1.

Wait — no, Part 2 is separate.

Actually, looking back at Part 1, question 4: “clanging pots” — we said “clang”. But “clang” isn’t in the box for Part 2 — that’s fine, different parts.

For Part 2, we have to choose from the given box.

So final assignments for Part 2:

6. splat
7. boom
8. chatter
9. pop
10. swish

Yes, that seems right.

Now, just to be thorough, let’s list all answers:

Part 1:
1. crunch
2. squeak
3. splash
4. clang
5. hiss

Part 2:
6. splat
7. boom
8. chatter
9. pop
10. swish

All make sense contextually and phonetically.

Final Answer:
1. crunch
2. squeak
3. splash
4. clang
5. hiss
6. splat
7. boom
8. chatter
9. pop
10. swish
