Moon Phases Worksheet Generator
Phases of the moon practice for Grades 1–5. Label the phases from a word bank, shade blank moons, number or cut and paste the phases in order, match each moon to its name, sort waxing and waning moons, or label a Sun, Earth and Moon diagram. Print a moon journal for any month with a circle to shade each night, or a set of phase cards. Choose the 4 main phases or all 8, the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, and third or last quarter.
Grades 1–2: the 4 main phases, with label, draw or cut and paste. Grades 3–5: all 8 phases, the waxing or waning sort and the Sun, Earth and Moon diagram. Every moon is drawn from its real geometry, and the journal's second page works out the moon for each night of the month you pick.
