Question Words for Kids: Who, What and Where (Kindergarten English)

Hi, I'm Luna from DoodleBeez. When we want to know something, we ask a question. Today we will learn three special question words. Who, what and where. Each one asks about something different.

Who asks about a person. Who is at the door? The answer is a person, like Grandma. Who is your teacher? The answer is a person too. Who means which person.

What asks about a thing. What is in the box? The answer is a thing, like a ball. What are you eating? An apple! What means which thing.

Where asks about a place. Where is the cat? The answer is a place, like under the bed. Where do you live? Where means which place.

Let's match. If the answer is a person, use who. If it is a thing, use what. If it is a place, use where. Person, thing, place. Who, what, where.

Listen to this. Sam went to the park with his dog. Who went? Sam. Where did he go? To the park. What did he bring? His dog.

Now it's your turn. You want to know where your shoes are. Which question word do you use: who, what, or where? Pause and try. You use where, because shoes are found in a place.

Great job! Remember, who asks about a person, what asks about a thing, and where asks about a place. Practice who, what and where in the English Lab at doodlebeez.com. See you next time!
