Identifying Story Characters

One of the first story elements we teach to our littlest learners is characters. Characters can be people, animals, magical creatures or personified objects. 

This cut-and-paste worksheet has been designed to help your students differentiate between story characters and non-characters. Students are required to cut out the images, then look at each picture and sort them. If the picture is a character, they need to glue it in the “characters” row. If the picture is not a character, they need to glue it in the “not a character” row.
