Same Different Size Practice Activities
Printable Nursery, LKG and UKG comparison worksheets for identifying same and different sizes through pictures, matching, circling and sorting tasks.
Practice that builds confidence
Building the idea of same and different size
These Same Different Size practice activities help Nursery, LKG and UKG children notice whether two objects are alike in size or not. Children compare pictures, use words such as same, different, big and small, and learn to look carefully before answering.
The printable worksheets include simple visual tasks such as matching objects of the same size, circling the different-sized picture, colouring according to size, and sorting pairs. They fit naturally within the Nursery, LKG and UKG > Comparison > Same Different Size learning path.
At this stage, children are not measuring with rulers. They are learning to compare by sight: two balls may be the same size, while a big cup and a small cup are different in size. The activities focus on clear picture pairs and groups so children can practise observing height, width and overall size without extra calculation.
How the worksheets progress
The practice can begin with two-picture comparisons, where the child says whether the objects are the same size or different size. It then moves to choosing one picture from a small set, matching equal-sized objects, and identifying the object that does not belong. Some tasks may ask children to colour, tick, circle or draw lines, so they build both comparison language and pencil control.
Parent routine for home practice
Sit beside your child and use real objects first, such as two spoons, two leaves or two toy cars. Ask, “Are these the same size or different size?” Then move to one worksheet question. Encourage the child to point to both objects before answering. If the answer is rushed, place a finger under each picture and compare slowly: “This one is tall. This one is also tall. Same size.”
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these pages during early maths practice, morning revision, small-group work or activity corners. They are useful after a hands-on sorting activity with blocks, buttons or classroom objects. Children can first discuss the pictures orally, then complete the sheet independently. The same page can also support vocabulary practice for children who are still developing spoken comparison words.
Common errors to watch for
Many young children focus on colour, shape or the object name instead of size. A red apple and a green apple may still be the same size; two identical toys may be different sizes. Some children compare only height and ignore width. Gently ask, “What are we checking today—colour, shape or size?” This helps them return to the target skill.

Frequently asked questions
What does “same different size” mean for Nursery, LKG and UKG children?
It means children learn to check whether two objects are equal in size or not. They compare by looking at pictures or real objects, not by measuring with a ruler.
Should my child know big and small before doing these worksheets?
Basic exposure to big and small helps, but it is not compulsory. These worksheets also build that language through simple picture comparisons.

Cover the instruction and ask, “Are we checking colour or size?” Then compare the two pictures together using words such as same size, bigger, smaller or different size.

Yes. LKG children can use them for first comparison practice, while UKG children can use them for revision, speed, vocabulary and independent worksheet habits.
