18 free same and different worksheets for Nursery, LKG and UKG: match objects that are the same and circle the one that is different. Print free.
Spotting what is the same and what is different is one of the first thinking skills children learn, and it supports both maths and reading. On these sheets a child looks along a row of pictures and finds the one that is different — a different colour, size, direction or a small missing detail — or draws a line between objects that are exactly the same.
The sheets suit Nursery, LKG and UKG (ages 3 to 6). Ask the child to explain how the odd one is different: “this umbrella is open, the others are closed”. Putting the reason into words builds vocabulary such as big / small, open / closed, left / right. The same careful looking later helps children tell apart letters like b and d or numbers like 6 and 9. Start with rows of three and move to longer rows as the child gets faster. Two or three rows a day are enough at this age.
Tip for parents and teachers: Play the same game with real things: put three spoons and a fork on the table and ask which one is different and why.
