Class 1 Hindi Swar aur Vyanjan Worksheet with Answers

The starting point of Class 1 Hindi and the sheet everything later depends on. A child who cannot tell a swar from a vyanjan will struggle with matras later, because a matra is simply what a swar becomes when it joins a consonant - so this is worth getting solid before moving on rather than rushing past.

The starting point of Class 1 Hindi and the sheet everything later depends on. A child who cannot tell a swar from a vyanjan will struggle with matras later, because a matra is simply what a swar becomes when it joins a consonant - so this is worth getting solid before moving on rather than rushing past.

Recognise and write the eleven swar of the Hindi varnamala.
Tell a swar apart from a vyanjan.
Name the first letter of a familiar word.

While your child works

Say the eleven swar aloud in order before writing anything. The sequence is what the exercises test, and it is learned by ear far faster than by copying.
The swar-or-vyanjan test is simple once a child knows there are only eleven swar. If they hesitate, recite the eleven together first - the answer becomes obvious.
If your own Hindi is stronger than your child's, resist correcting the letter shapes at this stage. Recognition comes before neat formation.

Questions parents ask

About this worksheet

How many swar are there in Hindi?

Eleven - अ आ इ ई उ ऊ ऋ ए ऐ ओ औ. Everything else in the varnamala is a vyanjan. Knowing there are exactly eleven turns swar-or-vyanjan questions into a simple recall test rather than a judgement.

Which NCERT book does Class 1 Hindi use?

Sarangi, introduced under the current foundational-stage framework. It replaced the older Rimjhim, so a worksheet written against Rimjhim may not match your child's book chapter for chapter.

Does this worksheet include an answer key?

Yes, a full key for every exercise, printed separately so a child does not see it while working. Free to print, with no sign-up.

Does this Class 1 Hindi worksheet come with answers?

Yes. Every exercise has a full answer key, and it prints on its own page at the end rather than beside the questions - so you can hand your child the sheet and keep the answers back. Some exercises also show one question already worked out, with the method rather than just the result, which is the part most answer keys leave out.

Is there a free printable PDF?

Yes, and there is no sign-up, no email and no account. The download button at the top of the sheet gives you the whole thing - all 58 questions across 5 exercises, plus the answer key - laid out to print on A4.

How long does this worksheet take?

About 20 minutes for 58 questions, though that is a guide rather than a target. It is designed to be split: the exercises are ordered so stopping halfway still leaves a complete piece of work, which matters more than finishing at this age.

Can I use it if my child is in a different class?

Often, yes - these topics are taught across several years and schools vary in when they arrive. Judge by the questions rather than the class on the label. If the first exercise is a struggle the level below is the better start, and the same topic at other levels is linked further up this page.
