140 worksheets

Shadow-match worksheets ask kindergartners to pair each object with its shadow — a clean visual-matching task that sharpens attention to shape and outline. For five- to seven-year-olds, looking past colour and detail to recognise a form by its silhouette is genuinely good observation practice, and it feels like a game. The picture-based task works for every child whatever their reading level or home language. Each sheet is a free printable PDF with a matching play-online version that draws the match and checks it, plus an answer key. The whole set is available in all 11 languages we publish in.
