About this worksheet

Matching is a good first check after new words are introduced. Shuffling the definitions every time you click "New worksheet" means students cannot memorize the order.

Teaching tip

After matching, have students pick three words and write their own sentence for each on the back.

How to use the generator

Change the settings and the sheet updates as you go. New worksheet gives a fresh set of problems with a new answer key. Print or save PDF opens your browser's print window: pick Letter paper and 100% scale, or Save as PDF to keep a copy.
