Practicing Nouns at Home

Practicing what a noun is - person, place, or thing - at home is a simple, fun activity. You don't need a desk (in fact, it's discouraged), you just need a notebook and pencil.

Preschool through mid-elementary students will love this activity!

1. Gather your notebook and pencil (one for each child). If your student is too young to write the teacher should take on the writing task.

2. Go on a "noun" hunt. Make three columns on a sheet of paper. Label your columns! (people (person), place(s), thing(s)).

3. Set out on your hunt. Go around the house and around your property or neighborhood. If you have any photographers in the group, take along a camera!

Person: Grandma

Place: The woods

Thing: Cat

Noun hunts are fun (the kids won't even know they're learning grammar!
