UNDER THE SEA - ESL worksheet by s0urcherry - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to match each picture with the correct word from the list.

We’ll look at each image one by one and find its name in the word bank at the bottom.

1. Green seaweed-like plant → That’s kelp
2. Gray seal sitting up → That’s a seal
3. Orange lobster with claws → That’s a lobster
4. Purple branching thing → That’s coral
5. Yellow star-shaped creature → That’s a starfish
6. Blue sea lion (looks like a seal but smoother) → That’s a sea lion
7. White shell with ridges → That’s a seashell
8. Colorful striped fish → That’s just called fish
9. Dark blue shark → That’s a shark
10. Red crab with big claws → That’s a crab
11. Blue dolphin jumping → That’s a dolphin
12. Yellow seahorse → That’s a seahorse
13. Jellyfish with bell and tentacles → That’s a jellyfish
14. Green sea turtle swimming → That’s a sea turtle
15. Gray whale with blowhole → That’s a whale

Now let’s write them in order as they appear on the page, left to right, top to bottom:

Top row:
- Kelp
- Seal
- Lobster
- Coral

Second row:
- Starfish
- Sea lion
- Seashell
- Fish

Third row:
- Shark
- Crab
- Dolphin

Fourth row:
- Seahorse
- Jellyfish
- Sea turtle
- Whale

Wait — let’s double-check the layout based on the original image positions (even though we’re not describing it, we need to match correctly).

Actually, looking again at how the boxes are arranged under each image:

From top to bottom, left to right:

Row 1:
→ Green plant → kelp
→ Gray animal → seal
→ Orange crustacean → lobster
→ Purple branchy thing → coral

Row 2:
→ Yellow star → starfish
→ Blue marine mammal → sea lion
→ White shell → seashell
→ Striped fish → fish

Row 3:
→ Dark blue predator → shark
→ Red clawed creature → crab
→ Blue smiling jumper → dolphin

Row 4:
→ Curvy yellow horse-fish → seahorse
→ Bell-shaped floaters → jellyfish
→ Green shelled swimmer → sea turtle
→ Big gray blower → whale

Yes, that matches all 15 images with the 15 words.

Final Answer:
kelp, seal, lobster, coral, starfish, sea lion, seashell, fish, shark, crab, dolphin, seahorse, jellyfish, sea turtle, whale
