Sing it first
Kick off the noun unit with a noun song. Pause after each verse and have kids name a person, place or thing in the room. Then add a twist: "Can you name a noun you can't touch?" That's your door into abstract nouns.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
