Conjunctions Or Practice Activities
Grade 1 students practise using the conjunction “or” to join choices and complete simple sentences correctly.
Practice that builds confidence
What “Or” Means
These Grade 1 sentence worksheets help children understand how the conjunction “or” connects two choices. Students practise reading and writing simple sentences where only one option, possibility, or preference is being shown.
The printable activities focus on clear, age-appropriate sentence work. Children may choose the correct word, complete a sentence with “or,” read paired options, and notice how “or” helps a sentence sound complete.
The word “or” is a conjunction that joins choices. In Grade 1, children do not need a long grammar explanation; they need many simple examples. A sentence such as “Do you want milk or juice?” shows that the speaker is offering one choice from two options.
Sentence Skills Children Practise
These worksheets build early sentence sense. Students look at two words or phrases and learn that “or” can connect them in one sentence. They practise reading the whole sentence, noticing meaning, and choosing an answer that fits. The work also supports spacing, capitalization, punctuation, and oral language.
Learning Progression
Children first hear “or” in everyday questions: red or blue, run or walk, apple or banana. Then they read sentences with the word already included. Later, they complete sentences by placing “or” between two choices. This gradual path helps them understand both the grammar and the meaning.
Parent Routine
At home, use real choices during daily routines. Ask, “Would you like a pencil or a crayon?” or “Should we read first or draw first?” Then point to the word “or” on the worksheet and ask your child to say the two choices. After writing, have your child reread the sentence aloud to check that it sounds right.
Classroom Uses
Teachers can use these pages during a Grade 1 sentences unit, morning work, literacy centers, small-group grammar lessons, or review after teaching “and” and “or.” The worksheets also fit well with picture prompts because children can name two visible options and connect them in a sentence.

Why iBloom Worksheets Help
The practice keeps the focus narrow: one conjunction, one clear job, and simple sentences young readers can manage. Watch for common errors such as using “and” when a choice is needed, leaving out one option, writing sentence fragments, or forgetting the question mark in choice questions. A child-friendly strategy is: find the two choices, put “or” between them, then read the sentence to hear the choice.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does the conjunction “or” show?
It shows a choice between two options, such as “milk or juice” or “read or draw.”
How is “or” different from “and” for Grade 1 students?
“And” joins things together, while “or” usually asks the reader or listener to choose one option.
Can these worksheets help with speaking as well as writing?
Yes. Saying choice sentences aloud helps children hear how “or” works before they write or complete the sentence.
What punctuation might appear with “or” sentences?
Some “or” sentences are questions, such as “Do you want tea or milk?” These need a question mark.

It is useful after children can read simple sentences and are beginning to learn joining words such as “and” and “or.”
