Is It Or Isn't It.... Plural?

That question can be a bit confusing to some little ones.  Do your students need some help with plurals?

Make it easier for them to understand, when they sort them into the plural and singular schoolhouses.

I’ve made over 100 traceable school-related word cards for singular and plural words.

Students sort the cards and then put them in the appropriate schoolhouse.

Make it a game by passing out the cards.

Play “I Have; Who Has?” i.e. “I have clock.  Who has clocks?”

Students can also alphabetize the cards, as well as make an Itty Bitty ABC Plural Booklet with them.

There’s a card for each letter except Q. I could not think of a q item that I found at school, except for maybe a Q-tip as an art supply.

There's also a certificate of praise included.

You may want to print the anchor chart that I designed with simple spelling rules for making words plural.

I made my poster “pop” by adding 3D butterflies.  Simply print off the butterfly template.

Cut out the butterflies, bend the wings forward, put a stripe of glue down the thorax and press onto the middle of the other butterflies.  They look like they are flying!

I hope these ideas will help your students have fun while they practice perfecting their plurals!

Do pop in tomorrow for more tips and feel free to PIN anything you feel might help parents or teachers.
