12 questions
1st - 1st Grade
English
This Grade 1 English worksheet helps students understand that one word can have more than one meaning. Across 12 multiple-choice questions, students read a sentence and choose the picture showing the correct meaning of a word such as bat, bark, letter, park, trunk, or chip. The paired examples require students to use context rather than identify a word by appearance alone—for example, distinguishing a bat that flies from a bat used to hit a ball. The worksheet gives beginning readers focused practice connecting sentence meaning to visual evidence. It is useful for introducing multiple-meaning words, checking whether students can interpret familiar vocabulary in context, or reviewing the skill independently. This free printable worksheet includes a complete answer key for efficient checking and can also support digital practice on Wayground.

FAQs
What does the Homonyms: Multiple Meaning Words worksheet help Grade 1 students learn?
This worksheet teaches students to use sentence context to identify which meaning of a multiple-meaning word is intended. In 12 multiple-choice items, students read a sentence and select the matching picture, distinguishing examples such as a flying bat from a baseball bat or tree bark from a dog’s bark. This builds vocabulary meaning and reading comprehension through visual matching.
How can I use this worksheet to teach multiple-meaning words?
Introduce one word pair at a time, such as bat or park, and ask students how the surrounding words change the meaning. Have students explain what clue in each sentence helped them choose the picture before completing the 12 multiple-choice items independently. Review the paired sentences together so students compare the two meanings of each word.
What mistakes should I watch for on this multiple-meaning words worksheet?
Students may choose a picture based only on the familiar meaning of a word instead of using the whole sentence—for example, selecting a flying bat for the sentence about hitting a ball. They may also confuse the two meanings in pairs such as dog bark and tree bark, or park as a playground and park as leaving a car. Ask students to reread the sentence and identify the clue that supports their picture choice.

You can download the worksheet as a printable PDF or assign it as a digital quiz on Wayground.
