Back to School Noun Practice for Second Grade

This back to school themed collective noun sorting activity is perfect for elementary language arts practice!

Early elementary grades are some of the most critical times for developing language arts skills.

Kids are learning how to read fluently, how to identify parts of speech, and how to create clear sentences on their own.

As part of second grade language arts standards, children often learn how to form and use both singular and plural nouns.

And that’s why I wanted to share a simple language arts lesson: a printable noun practice for second grade activity with a fun back-to-school theme!

Singular and Plural Noun Sorting Activity

This noun sorting practice lesson is a cut and paste activity featuring singular nouns, plural nouns, and collective nouns.

Sorting Singular and Collective Nouns

Collective nouns are nouns that look like singular nouns but refer to a group, such as “team”, “group”, “class”, etc. 

Learning to distinguish between these types of nouns is a critical language arts skill for second grade.

Learning about Singular and Plural Nouns

Once kids decide which picture goes with which noun, they glue them into the box below.

Use the noun writing worksheets for reinforcement after the hands-on activity.

    A great way to connect them – my 2nd Grader is finding some of the plural nouns harder than others – living in England we’ve had lots of conversation about SHEEPS and GOOSES as we drive around the country side.

    How funny – I didn’t know there were collective nouns. I can only hope my daughter did learn it in the second grade 🙂
