Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have some fun learning about special words. Let’s dive into our worksheet called “Learn the Sight Words: There, Those, and These.” Are you ready? Let’s go!
Our first sentence is: “The kids went to visit ___ grandfather.” We have three choices:
Hmm, which one sounds right? It’s tricky because “their” and “their” sound the same! But let’s think about what they mean. “There” (t-h-e-r-e) means a place, like “over there.” “Their” (t-h-e-i-r) means it belongs to them. So, the right answer is “The kids went to visit their grandfather.” Yay!
Next, we have: “How many muffins are ___?” Here are the choices:
Since the muffins are not with us, we can’t use “these.” “Those” are far away, but “there” is just right because it talks about a place. So, the answer is “How many muffins are there?” Great job!
Now, let’s look at: “Count ___ coins.” Here are the choices:
All of them could work, but our clue is that the coins are right here. When something is close to us, we use “these.” So, the answer is “Count these coins.” Awesome!
Finally, we have: “Mia colored ___ greeting cards.” Here are the choices:
Our arrow shows that the cards are over there. “These” is for things close to us, and “their” doesn’t fit here. So, the right answer is “Mia colored those greeting cards.” Well done!
You did an amazing job with the worksheet! Words like “there,” “those,” and “these” can be tricky, but with practice, you’ll get even better. Keep up the great work, and see you next time, friends. Bye!
Word Hunt Adventure: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects and decide if you would use “these,” “those,” or “there” to describe them. For example, if you see a group of books on a nearby shelf, you might say, “These books are interesting.” If you see a tree outside the window, you might say, “Those trees are tall.” Write down what you find and share with a friend or family member.
Picture Story Time: Draw a picture of a scene with different objects at various distances. For example, you could draw a park with a bench, a tree, and a kite in the sky. Use “these,” “those,” and “there” to write sentences about your picture. For instance, “These flowers are pretty,” “Those clouds look fluffy,” and “There is a dog playing.” Share your picture and sentences with the class.
Role-Playing Game: With a partner, take turns being a “tour guide” and a “visitor.” The tour guide will describe objects in the room using “these,” “those,” and “there.” For example, “These chairs are for sitting,” “Those posters are colorful,” and “There is a clock on the wall.” The visitor will guess which objects the tour guide is talking about. Switch roles and see who can describe the most objects!

We have a new worksheet today, and the name of our worksheet is “Learn the Sight Words: There, Those, and These.” The directions say to check the correct word to complete each sentence.
Our first sentence says, “The kids went to visit ___ grandfather.” Here are the choices:
1. The kids went to visit their grandfather.
2. The kids went to visit their grandfather.
3. The kids went to visit these grandfather.
Which one of those sounds correct? It’s either “their” or “their,” right? Those sound correct. Why would it not be “these”? “These” talks about more than one, but we’re talking about one grandfather, so that doesn’t make sense.
I know that one isn’t the right answer, but it’s either one of these. I’m not sure which one makes sense because they sound the same. Did you know that there are two words that are spelled differently but have different meanings?
“There” (t-h-e-r-e) means over there; it’s a location. “Their” means it belongs to them. So, which one of these makes sense? “The kids went to visit over their grandfather” or “The kids went to visit their grandfather”? The second one makes sense because it belongs to them.
So, it’s “their” (t-h-e-i-r) for this one: “The kids went to visit their grandfather.”
The next one, number two, says, “How many muffins are ___?”
1. How many muffins are those?
2. How many muffins are these?
3. How many muffins are there?
They’re not with us, so they’re not “these.” “Those” are over there. So, “How many muffins are there?” is the correct way to fill in this sentence.
I’m going to put a check next to t-h-e-r-e.
The next one, number three, says, “Count ___ coins.”
1. Count their coins.
2. Count those coins.
3. Count these coins.
Which one makes sense? Actually, all of them can make sense, but the clue here is our arrow pointing to coins that are here. So, if something is here, it’s “these.” Count these coins.
I’m going to put a check next to t-h-e-s-e.
Okay, we’ve got one more here. It says, “Mia colored ___ greeting cards.”
1. Mia colored these greeting cards.
2. Mia colored their greeting cards.
3. Mia colored those greeting cards.
Mia colored “these” greeting cards could make sense, but our arrow shows us that they’re kind of over there. “Mia colored their greeting cards” doesn’t make sense. It would be “those” greeting cards because there’s more than one of them and they’re over there.
So, it’s “those.” Mia colored those greeting cards, and our arrow shows us where they are.
Great job on your worksheet! Some of those words—there, those, and these—can be really confusing, but with more practice, you guys are going to get great at that. Awesome job! See you next time, friends. Bye!
