Support early sentence structure and language development with this circus-themed "This Is, There Are" worksheet!

Learning to use simple sentence frames is a foundational literacy skill, and this printable makes the practice visual, engaging, and totally accessible for young learners.

Kids will look at circus-themed pictures and use the sentence frames "This is a ___" and "There are ___ " to describe what they see, building vocabulary, grammar awareness, and early reading and writing skills all in one activity.

The sentence frame format gives kids just enough scaffolding to feel confident while still doing real language work.

This worksheet is a great fit for preschool and kindergarten students who are beginning to write simple sentences or who are working on oral language development.

It's a natural addition to a circus unit and works well as a literacy center, a shared writing activity, or a guided practice page.

No prep needed — just print and go. A purposeful, fun worksheet for building early language skills!

In my newsletter, For Moms With Minis, I share free activity printables designed for kids aged 2-5. These fun activities help little ones practice colors, numbers, letters, fine motor skills, and more. Don’t worry if your child can’t do everything just yet—each activity is designed with different levels of difficulty in mind. The key is to have fun, be patient, and enjoy the time spent together. Every bit of practice counts, and I’m here to support you along the way!
