Opposites Puzzle Worksheet for Preschool

Learn, Match, and Reveal the Hidden Scene!

This vibrant worksheet helps children explore opposite words through a playful matching activity and a surprise visual reward. The top half features a clear table with word pairs (e.g., big / bright, fast / happy), while the bottom half contains a colorful underwater cartoon scene filled with expressive characters and labeled opposites.

How It Works

Before solving the worksheet (Opposites Puzzle Worksheet for Preschool), the image is cut into pieces and shuffled. Children use the word table to identify the correct opposite for each label in the scene. They then match and glue each word into the table. As they complete the task, the full underwater illustration is gradually revealed — a joyful surprise that reinforces learning through play!
