Welcome back to school worksheet with fill-in-the-blank activity for students.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We have a song with blanks, and we need to fill them using the words from the box:
year, sing, summer, work, school, rules, smile, good

The title is “Welcome back to school!” — so it’s about starting school again after break.

Let’s go line by line:

---

(1) Welcome back to (1)__________________.

This is easy — the whole song is about coming back to school.
→ So (1) = school

---

(2) You’ve made it through the (2)__________________,

What do you go through before coming back to school? Usually, summer vacation!
→ So (2) = summer

---

(3) Now there’s (3)__________________ to do.

After summer, what starts? Schoolwork! The word “work” fits here.
→ So (3) = work

---

(4) So put a (4)__________________ on your face.

This is a common phrase: “put a smile on your face.”
→ So (4) = smile

---

(5) And (5)__________________ out with me.

Later in the song, it says “And sing out with me.” So this must be sing.
→ So (5) = sing

---

(6) We’re gonna have a (6)__________________ year,

Look at the next lines: “We’re gonna have a good year,” — so this blank should also be good, to match.
→ So (6) = good

Wait — but “good” is already used later? Let’s check the word list: we can use each word only once? Actually, looking at the original lyrics (if you know them), sometimes words repeat — BUT in this worksheet, the word bank has 8 words and 8 blanks — so each word is used exactly once.

Hold on — let’s count:

Word bank:
year, sing, summer, work, school, rules, smile, good → 8 words

Blanks: (1) to (8) → 8 blanks

So each word used once.

But in line (6): “We’re gonna have a (6)_______ year,” — if we put “good”, then later when it says “We’re gonna have a good year,” that’s fine — because that’s not a blank. But wait — look at line (7):

“We’re gonna have a good(7)__________________,”

That’s different — it says “a good ___”, so maybe (7) is “year”? But “year” is in the word bank.

Let’s re-examine.

Actually, let’s look ahead.

In the repeated part:

> We’re gonna have a good year,
> Just wait and see.
> We’re gonna have a (6)________ year, ← this is probably NOT “good” again, since “good” might be saved for elsewhere.

Wait — no, actually, in the original song (which this is based on), line (6) is “great” or something — but we don’t have “great”. We have “good”.

But we also have “year” in the word bank.

Wait — perhaps (6) is “good”, and (7) is “year”? Let’s try that.

Line (7): “We’re gonna have a good(7)__________________,”

If we put “year” there, it becomes “We’re gonna have a good year,” which makes perfect sense.

Then what about line (6)? “We’re gonna have a (6)________ year,” — if we put “good” there, then we’re using “good” twice? But we only have one “good” in the word bank.

Problem.

Unless... maybe (6) is not “good”. What else could fit?

Words left after (1)-(5):

Used: school, summer, work, smile, sing

Left: year, rules, good

For (6): “We’re gonna have a (6)_______ year,” — possible words: “good” or “year”? But “year year” doesn’t make sense.

“rules year”? No.

So only “good” makes sense for (6).

But then for (7): “We’re gonna have a good(7)_______,” — if we put “year”, that works.

But then we’ve used “good” in (6) and “year” in (7). That’s okay — they are different words.

Wait — but in the word bank, “good” appears once, “year” appears once.

So:

(6) = good → “We’re gonna have a good year”

(7) = year → “We’re gonna have a good year” — same phrase, but written differently? Wait, no:

Look carefully:

Original text:

> We’re gonna have a good year,
> Just wait and see.
> We’re gonna have a (6)__________________ year,
> It’s true.
> We’re gonna have a good year,
> Me and You.
> So put a smile on your face.
> And sing out with me.
> We’re gonna have a good(7)__________________,
> Just wait and see.

Ah! Line (7) says “a good(7)_______” — meaning the word goes right after “good”, so it’s “a good [something]”.

If we put “year” in (7), it becomes “a good year” — which matches the earlier line.

But then what about (6)? “We’re gonna have a (6)_______ year” — if we put “good” there, it’s “a good year” again.

But we only have one “good” and one “year” in the word bank.

Conflict.

Unless... perhaps (6) is not “good”. What other word could fit?

Available words after (1)-(5): year, rules, good

“rules year”? Doesn’t make sense.

“year year”? No.

So maybe I made a mistake earlier.

Let’s list all blanks and think again.

Perhaps (6) is “good”, and (7) is something else? But “a good rules”? No. “a good work”? No.

Another idea: maybe (7) is “year”, and (6) is... wait, perhaps the word “good” is used in (7), and (6) is filled with another word.

But what word fits “a _______ year”? Only “good” really.

Unless... look at the very end:

“First things first.
Let’s talk about (8)__________________ .”

That’s likely “rules” — because teachers often start the year by talking about classroom rules.

So (8) = rules

Now, words left for (6) and (7): year and good

We have two blanks: (6) and (7)

And two words: year, good

Now, line (6): “We’re gonna have a (6)_______ year,” — must be “good” → “a good year”

Line (7): “We’re gonna have a good(7)_______,” — must be “year” → “a good year”

Even though it's the same phrase, it's written differently in the blanks — one has the adjective blank, the other has the noun blank.

And since both "good" and "year" are in the word bank, and we use each once, it works.

So:

(6) = good

(7) = year

Then (8) = rules

Now let’s verify all:

(1) school

(2) summer

(3) work

(4) smile

(5) sing

(6) good

(7) year

(8) rules

Check word bank: year, sing, summer, work, school, rules, smile, good — all used exactly once. Perfect.

Also, the meaning makes sense:

- Welcome back to school

- Made it through summer

- Now there’s work to do

- Put a smile on your face

- Sing out with me

- Have a good year (twice, phrased differently)

- Talk about rules at the end

Yes, this fits.

Final Answer:

(1) school
(2) summer
(3) work
(4) smile
(5) sing
(6) good
(7) year
(8) rules
