Fun Activity

Try to find nouns around you. Look for people, places, and things. Maybe you see a “dog” (thing), a “park” (place), or a “friend” (person). Have fun exploring!

Let’s be friends! You can learn more by exploring fun educational videos online. Keep learning and singing about nouns!

  • Can you think of a person, place, or thing that is special to you? Why is it special?
  • What are some nouns you can find in your classroom or home? Can you name one person, one place, and one thing?
  • If you could invent a new noun, what would it be? Would it be a person, a place, or a thing, and what would it do?
  1. Noun Scavenger Hunt: Go on a noun scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Make a list of nouns you find. Try to find at least three nouns for each category: person, place, and thing. Share your list with a friend or family member and see if they can find any nouns you missed!

  2. Noun Drawing Challenge: Draw a picture that includes at least one noun from each category: a person, a place, and a thing. For example, you could draw a picture of a “teacher” (person) in a “classroom” (place) with a “pencil” (thing). Share your drawing with the class and explain the nouns you included.

  3. Story Time with Nouns: Create a short story using at least five nouns from the lists in the article. You can write about a “singer” (person) who visits a “library” (place) and finds a “star” (thing). Share your story with a friend or family member and ask them to identify the nouns in your story.
