Compare Two Animals: How Are They the Same?
Two little comparison charts: a duck and a fish, and a cow and a hen. Kids check what each animal has or can do (wings, fins, a beak, feathers, four legs) and star the lines that are true for both, so they see how two things can be the same in some ways and different in others. The answer key is on page 2.

About this worksheet
Two little comparison charts: a duck and a fish, and a cow and a hen. Kids check what each animal has or can do (wings, fins, a beak, feathers, four legs) and star the lines that are true for both, so they see how two things can be the same in some ways and different in others. The answer key is on page 2. Big pictures and only a few tasks per page make it a gentle start for kindergartners.

Tips for using it
- Start with the pre-K pages where the different picture is a different thing, then move to the small differences.
- Ask why after every answer; naming the difference (color, size, way it faces) builds vocabulary.
- Cover all rows but one with a sheet of paper so younger kids focus on a single row.
- On the details page, count out loud and touch each spot or petal; the different one has one more or one less.
