Noun game

Here’s a simple free noun game for your learners!

Try this simple free noun game with your K-2 learners!

My readers have been asking for more games for kids in grades 2-4. This has been on my list of goals for a long time, but it keeps getting pushed off.

Things have been busy.

You know, raising six kids and all.

But it’s important to me to continue to do “after schooling” with my big kids. Just because they’re in school doesn’t mean I want to let their teachers have all the fun!

This is the first in a series of free games to teach parts of speech.

Try this simple free noun game with your K-2 learners!

This, our first game, is a super simple noun game. Just take turns rolling the die to move around the board. When you land on a picture, name it or read the word beneath it.

Then tell whether it’s a person, place, object, or animal.

Try this simple free noun game with your K-2 learners!

This was a fun and simple game for my second grader. It would also work well for first graders – and maybe even kindergartners!

Don’t worry – we’ll be sharing more noun games – and not all as easy as this one.

P.S. Do you prefer the old fashioned “person, place or thing?” I have a game with that title in the download as well.

YOU’LL LOVE THIS PRACTICAL BOOK!

Looking for an easy-to-read guide to help you reach all readers? If you teach kindergarten through third grade, this is the book for you. Get practical ideas and lesson plan templates that you can implement tomorrow!

    Thank you very much for all these amazing activities! With the coronavirus outbreak I want to teach English to my 6 yo son, so I’m pretty sure he will love the games. I hope to teach him well!

    Thanks again!

    Do you happen to have a game like this for synonym and homonyms? Or even one that instead of just naming the type of noun it is one with nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs? I have done a lot of Mad Libs this summer with my 2nd grader and think she is getting bored with them.

    Dear Anna
    I love this game board and I am looking forward to the other game boards. I am using this game board with my kindergarten children most of whom are learning to speak English. I made two game boards – the first we use as the game boards – the second one I cut up so that the first person who lands on a square can take the cut up piece and classify it according to whether the noun named a person, place, object, or animal. My children love it and love playing the game. It is really motivating and helps them learn the English names for many things. ( I now that you are really busy – but I could see where two or three different game boards with different nouns would be really helpful.)

    I am also learning a lot and really enjoying the Teaching Every Reader class.
    I am so glad I discovered your website and blog – my children really love your materials and it is helping to make the school year even more joyful.

      I’m glad you can use this, Cathy, and I’m so happy you’re enjoying the course! Someday I might bundle all my parts of speech games into a paid product – if I do that I’ll be sure to add extra games.

    Hi Anna,

    My Six year old has to be motivated most of the times. I have to try a lot of strategies to get him to read your printable books of CVC words and to help him develop a love for learning. Sometimes, to be honest, I sweat through the process. 🙁 Thanks for the nouns game. I would have it printed and use it for him to learn sight words as well.

    Thank you Anna and lots of love from Yvette.

      I hope he enjoys this one, Yvette! One of my kids is a reluctant learner, too – it’s hard, I know!

    This is perfect timing, I’ve been going over nouns with my 6 year old, and I am trying to find more games to use as a reward/incentive for completing our lessons without grumbling. Thank you!

    Hi, I’m so impressed with your beautiful work. Neat, clear and concise. I was wondering you you have any ideas in which to help students struggling with wird retrieval?
    I’d love to hear what you would recommend.

    Thank you

    Thank You for Sharing. I love the visual and it helps my Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students build their language foundation. Our Preschool program refrains from using “worksheets” and more of a hands on approach. So this will be perfect in my classroom!
