  • Activity 3 / Siblings Quiz Worksheet

    preview

    Your kids might know the word sibling to mean their sisters and brothers, without realizing what exactly it means to be a sibling. Siblings are people who share the same parents, and as a result, they share quite a bit of genes! This can mean that many siblings share similar features and attributes, while also having differences, too. Help your future scientist to master this early biology concept by completing this fascinating worksheet that tasks kids with finding all the similarities the two siblings on the page share with each other!

Such a great app!
This was a really fun way to get my kids to practice their math. I usually struggle to get them into it and Kids Academy makes it easy.

So engaging
We love how we can focus on math with this app. It is engaging and we love how we are able to adjust and tailor the levels according to our son’s knowledge and skill levels!
Momma Anna
Daughter's favorite
Still a top favorite for our 7 year old. She loves earning her stars as she learns to trace letters and numbers. Coloring and the sounds are engaging and are on target for her age group and being Pre K.
