"ar" word family worksheet: complete sentences using the word represented by the picture.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to find the word that matches the picture and fits in the blank. All words end with “ar” — that’s our clue!

---

1. The teacher explained the ___ .
Picture: A person pointing at a chart or graph → That’s a *chart*.
✔ Word: chart

2. The animals stayed in the ___ .
Picture: A barn → Animals live in a *barn*.
✔ Word: barn

3. My family enjoyed a picnic in the ___ .
Picture: A park with trees, grass, maybe a pond → That’s a *park*.
✔ Word: park

4. The ___ came very close to me.
Picture: A shark → But wait… “shark” doesn’t end in “ar”. Hmm. Let’s think again. Maybe it’s not “shark”? Wait — look again. The picture is of a shark, but we need an “ar” word. Could it be “star”? No, that doesn’t fit. Wait — maybe it’s “car”? No. Actually… let’s check the next ones first.

Wait — maybe I made a mistake. Let’s re-examine #4. The picture is clearly a shark. But “shark” ends in “ark”, which has “ar” inside. Is that acceptable? Let’s see other options.

Actually — hold on. Maybe the picture is meant to represent “star”? No, it’s definitely a shark. Perhaps the worksheet allows “shark” even though it’s not ending in “ar”? But the title says “ar” — so all answers should have “ar”.

Wait — maybe it’s “far”? No. Or “bar”? Doesn’t fit.

Let me skip and come back.

5. I gave her a ___ for her birthday.
Picture: A card with cupcakes → That’s a *card*.
✔ Word: card

6. I would love to stay on the ___ .
Picture: A farm with house and animals → That’s a *farm*.
✔ Word: farm

7. Please return the ___ to the shop.
Picture: A shopping cart → That’s a *cart*.
✔ Word: cart

8. We have a huge tree in the ___ .
Picture: A yard with a tree → That’s a *yard*.
✔ Word: yard

9. I don’t want to run that ___ .
Picture: A kid running with a kite? Wait — no, looks like a kid holding something long… maybe a “scarf”? No. Wait — actually, it looks like a kid pulling a wagon? Or maybe it’s a “jar”? No.

Wait — look again. The picture shows a child with what looks like a string or rope — maybe “far”? As in “run that far”? That makes sense! “I don’t want to run that far.” And “far” ends in “ar”.

✔ Word: far

10. The ___ of the tree was rough.
Picture: Tree bark → That’s *bark*.
✔ Word: bark

Now go back to #4: The ___ came very close to me.
Picture: Shark. But “shark” contains “ar” — maybe that’s okay? Or perhaps it’s a trick? Wait — could it be “star”? Like a starfish? But the picture is clearly a shark.

Alternatively — maybe it’s “car”? But the picture isn’t a car.

Wait — let’s think differently. Maybe the picture is meant to be “shark”, and since “shark” has “ar” in it, it counts? But the instruction says “word represented by the picture” and the theme is “ar” — probably meaning words ending in “ar”.

But “shark” ends in “ark”, not “ar”. So maybe it’s not correct.

Wait — another idea: Could it be “bar”? Like a sandbar? But the picture is a shark.

Hmm. Let’s list all the “ar” words we’ve used:

- chart
- barn
- park
- card
- farm
- cart
- yard
- far
- bark

That’s 9. We need 10.

What about “star”? If the picture was misread — but it’s clearly a shark.

Wait — maybe #4 is “shark” and we accept it because it has “ar” in it? But that breaks the pattern.

Alternatively — maybe the picture for #4 is supposed to be “star”? But it’s drawn as a shark.

Let me check online or common worksheets — sometimes “shark” is accepted in “ar” families because of the sound.

But to be safe, let’s assume the intended answer is “shark” — even if it doesn’t perfectly end in “ar”, it’s the only logical match.

Wait — another thought: Could it be “jar”? No, picture is shark.

Perhaps it’s “car”? No.

I think we have to go with “shark” for #4, even if it’s not perfect.

But let’s double-check the last one: #10 is “bark” — that’s good.

So final list:

1. chart
2. barn
3. park
4. shark ← problematic, but best fit
5. card
6. farm
7. cart
8. yard
9. far
10. bark

Wait — but “shark” doesn’t end in “ar”. Let’s see if there’s another possibility.

What if #4 is “star”? But the picture is a shark. Unless it’s a typo in the worksheet.

Alternatively — maybe it’s “bar” as in “sandbar”? But still, picture is shark.

I think for the sake of completing the task, we’ll use “shark” — noting that it contains “ar”.

But let’s look again at the title: “ar” — it might mean words with the “ar” sound, not necessarily ending in “ar”.

In phonics, “ar” can be in the middle too, like in “shark”, “park”, etc.

Yes! In many phonics lessons, “ar” refers to the /ar/ sound, which appears in words like “shark”, “park”, “barn”, etc.

So “shark” is fine — it has the “ar” sound.

Perfect.

So all answers are valid.

1. chart
