Penguin Word Families

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

These silly penguins are just asking to be colored in! Similar to paint-by-numbers, kids color in these penguins based on the words written on the drawing. They color in anything in the -it family black and the -in family orange.

Instructional Ideas

  • Allow for a few finishing touches; kids can color the bows on the girl penguin red and the snowy background blue
  • Invite learners to complete this activity at a classroom center
  • Send this page home for homework
  • Have learners say each word out loud as they color

Classroom Considerations

  • While the art is not the most inspiring, it is nicely segmented so that learners can easily tell when sections go with which words

Pros

  • A fun way to practice different word endings

Cons

  • None
