Line matching worksheet students complete online
Line match works like the "draw a line" exercise on a paper worksheet, but students complete it in the browser and you get the score. Prompts sit in the left column, answers in the right column, and students connect them one at a time.
The editor opens with the example below already filled in. A free teacher account is needed to save the activity and publish a student link.
Ways teachers use the line match template
Worksheet follow-up
Use the same pairs you taught in class as a familiar worksheet-style exercise for homework.
Terms and definitions
Connect science or history terms to short definitions, or words to example sentences.
Pictures you describe in words
Match a description to its name, such as "a red or green fruit" to "apple".
What students do
- Students open the assignment link and type their name if you collect names.
- They select a prompt on the left, then select its match on the right.
- They submit when they finish, and you see the attempt in your results. Prompts left unconnected count as unanswered.
Tips for a good set
- Keep the left-side prompts short so both columns stay readable on a phone.
- Use one relationship per activity, for example only word to meaning.
- Each assignment can also be printed as a worksheet for students working offline.
Frequently asked questions
- Can students do line matching on a tablet or phone?
- Yes. Students select a prompt and then its match, so it works with a mouse or a touch screen.
- Can I reuse my pairs in another game?
- Yes. Line match uses the same pair list as match up and matching pairs, so after saving you can copy the pairs into either of those formats.
