Word bank for the thirteen rooms

No word list prints on the sheet. In alphabetical order: attic, basement, bathroom, bedroom, closet, dining room, garage, hallway, kitchen, landing, laundry room, living room, stairs.

Rooms that get swapped

Numbers 4 and 5 share one space on the ground floor. The 4 above the front door is the hallway; the 5 beside the steps is the stairs. The landing (6) is upstairs, where the stairs end. Attic and basement are the two ends of the house: 10 is the triangle under the roof, 11 is below the ground. Clothes hang in the closet (8), beside the bedroom. The laundry room (12) has the two machines.

Closet is mainly an American word. Hall, for hallway, is mainly British; American English usually says entryway.
Each room holds a clue for a first lesson: boxes, a bed, a bathtub, a sofa, a table with two chairs, a car.
For a more detailed drawing to label, the interior parts of a house page adds one wall and its trim: baseboard, casing, crown molding.

Questions and answers

What is another name for a living room?

In British English, sitting room or lounge. A living room near the front door is sometimes called the front room. Parlor and drawing room are older names for it.

What is the difference between an attic and a loft?

They are the same space under the roof, and loft is mainly the British word. In American English a loft can also be an upper floor or room, or an apartment in a building that was once used for industry.

Is a garage a room in a house?

An attached garage is part of the house or built onto it, and typically has a door into the house. A detached garage stands apart as an outbuilding. The one on this sheet stands at the side and takes number 13.

Does the worksheet to label the rooms of the house have an answer key?

Yes. The key prints the house with its numbers and the thirteen names in order, from living room to garage. Four carry a second name in brackets: hall, staircase, loft and cellar.
