This worksheet is based on the classic children's story *The Three Little Pigs*. The task asks you to
match the building materials (on the left) with the
houses (on the right) that were built using those materials.
Let’s go step by step:
---
Step 1: Identify the Building Materials
On the
left side, there are three items:
1.
Top: A bundle of
straw — thin, dry grass, tied together.
2.
Middle: A bundle of
sticks — longer, wooden branches tied together.
3.
Bottom: A stack of
bricks — rectangular blocks used in construction.
---
Step 2: Identify the Houses
On the
right side, there are three houses:
1.
Top house: Looks like it has a
thatched roof and
wooden walls — this matches
straw.
2.
Middle house: Has
stone or brick walls and a chimney — this matches
bricks.
3.
Bottom house: Looks
round with a
thatched roof, and the walls appear to be made of
sticks or wood — this matches
sticks.
Wait! Let's double-check carefully.
Actually, in the traditional story:
- The
first pig builds a house of
straw → weak, blows away.
- The
second pig builds a house of
sticks → stronger, but still blown away.
- The
third pig builds a house of
bricks → strong and safe.
So now let's match them correctly based on appearance:
---
Matching Based on Story & Visuals:
1.
Straw (top left) → Should go to the
house that looks like it's made of straw
→ That's the
bottom house on the right: round, with a dome-like thatched roof and rough texture — typical of a straw hut.
2.
Sticks (middle left) → Should go to the
house that looks like it's made of sticks
→ The
top house on the right: it has horizontal lines and a simple structure, resembling a stick-built house.
3.
Bricks (bottom left) → Should go to the
brick house
→ The
middle house on the right: it has clearly defined stone/brick patterns, a chimney, and a solid look.

Correct Matches:
✔ Straw →
Bottom house (rounded, thatched)
✔ Sticks →
Top house (simple, wooden-looking)
✔ Bricks →
Middle house (stone/brick pattern)
---
Final Answer:
Draw lines as follows:
- From
straw (top left) →
bottom house (right)
- From
sticks (middle left) →
top house (right)
- From
bricks (bottom left) →
middle house (right)

Explanation:
This exercise helps children connect materials with their uses and recall the story. It also teaches cause and effect: different materials lead to different results in strength and durability.

✔ Remember: In the story, only the
brick house survives the big bad wolf!
