About this resource
Description
Some nouns do not just add -s to mean more than one. This L.2.1 Common Core activity helps 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students learn frequently occurring irregular plural nouns, such as mouse and mice, tooth and teeth, and leaf and leaves.
In Irregular Plural Nouns, children play a picture-card matching game with 20 cards. Each singular card shows one object, and its plural partner shows the same picture three times, so the picture tells students which two cards belong together. Students flip two cards at a time, read both words out loud and keep each pair they find. They write every pair on the My Pairs recording sheet. The same cards work for Go Fish, too. Print the cards one-sided and make a few straight cuts on the dashed lines. A 2nd grade practice page asks students to choose the correctly spelled plural to finish six new sentences.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with simple steps and prep tips
- 20 picture cards: 10 singular and irregular plural pairs
- A My Pairs recording sheet
- A 2nd grade practice worksheet: choose the correct irregular plural
- A card pair answer key and a practice answer key
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Seeing one object beside three of the same object makes the meaning of a plural noun easy to understand.
- Saying and writing each pair helps children remember spellings like geese, wolves and knives.
- A matching game turns grammar practice into something children want to play again and again.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this irregular plural nouns activity at a literacy center, in a small group or with a partner. Ask students to use each pair in a sentence, like one sheep and three sheep, or to hunt for more irregular plurals in a favorite book. Send the practice page home for extra review. Come back to this L.2.1 Common Core activity whenever students need a fun review of plural nouns.
