Women’s History Month Matching Game / Activity / Printable Worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We need to match each woman on the left with her correct profession shown by the icon on the right.

Here are the names:
- Sally Ride
- Junko Tabei
- Althea Gibson
- Clara Barton

And here are the icons (from top to bottom):
1. A nurse (wearing a cap, holding a clipboard)
2. A mountain climber (climbing a snowy peak)
3. An astronaut in space (floating near Saturn)
4. A tennis player (holding a racket, wearing a visor)

Now let’s think about who each person is:

✔ Sally Ride – She was the first American woman in space. So she matches with the astronaut icon.

✔ Junko Tabei – She was the first woman to climb Mount Everest. So she matches with the mountain climber icon.

✔ Althea Gibson – She was a famous tennis player and broke barriers as the first Black athlete to win a Grand Slam title. So she matches with the tennis player icon.

✔ Clara Barton – She founded the American Red Cross and was a nurse during the Civil War. So she matches with the nurse icon.

Let’s double-check:

- Sally Ride → Astronaut ✔️
- Junko Tabei → Mountain Climber ✔️
- Althea Gibson → Tennis Player ✔️
- Clara Barton → Nurse ✔️

All matches make sense based on their real-life achievements.

Final Answer:
Sally Ride — Astronaut
Junko Tabei — Mountain Climber
Althea Gibson — Tennis Player
Clara Barton — Nurse
