Let’s go step by step to figure out whether each picture is a
Person,
Place, or
Thing.
We’ll look at each image one by one and decide:
---
1. Fish
→ A fish is not a person (not human).
→ It’s not a place (you can’t live in it or visit it like a location).
→ So, it’s a
Thing — an animal/object.
✔ Answer: Thing
---
2. Girl with pigtails
→ This is a drawing of a child — definitely a
Person.
✔ Answer: Person
---
3. School building
→ The word “SCHOOL” is on the door.
→ A school is a building where people go to learn — that’s a
Place.
✔ Answer: Place
---
4. Beach scene (sun, umbrella, ball)
→ This shows a beach — sand, water, sun, umbrella.
→ That’s a location you can visit →
Place
✔ Answer: Place
---
5. Purse/handbag
→ Not a person. Not a place.
→ It’s an object you carry →
Thing
✔ Answer: Thing
---
6. Dress
→ Clothing item → not alive, not a location →
Thing
✔ Answer: Thing
---
7. Owl
→ An animal. Animals are not persons (in this context — we’re talking about humans as “persons”).
→ Not a place → so it’s a
Thing
✔ Answer: Thing
*(Note: In some contexts, animals might be called “beings,” but for this worksheet level, “Thing” is correct for non-human creatures.)*
---
8. King with crown and cape
→ He’s wearing royal clothes and has a mustache — clearly a human character →
Person
✔ Answer: Person
---
Now let’s put all answers together in order from top to bottom, left column first, then right column:
Left Column:
- Fish → Thing
- Girl → Person
- School → Place
- Beach → Place
Right Column:
- Purse → Thing
- Dress → Thing
- Owl → Thing
- King → Person
──────────────────────────────────────
Final Answer:
Fish: Thing
Girl: Person
School: Place
Beach: Place
Purse: Thing
Dress: Thing
Owl: Thing
King: Person
