Grammar Tales: Herd of Cows! Flock of Sheep! A Lesson on Singular & Plural Nouns

In this lesson, learners will have fun listening to a story about Farmer Bob.  After bringing in his corn, potatoes, beans, and tomatoes, Farmer Bob decides to settle down for a good night's rest. While he snoozes away, the river rises high enough to set his bed afloat down the river. This sends the animals into a panic--a drove of pigs outlines a plan, a colony of beavers races to chew down trees, a school of fish tries to create a dam, and so forth. Will Farmer Bob be rescued by a nest of snakes and a herd of horses? After the story, we will play an interactive noun game, where the students get to control the screen using a computer mouse, touch pad, or Ipad. Then we will make our craft.  The students will use the attached printables to make plural and singular pockets. Then they will cut out words to add to the correct pockets. Students can even make their own words to keep adding to their pockets after class!

This class is great for children who are just learning about singular and plural nouns, or to provide extra practice for learners who already know about singular and plural nouns. Let's start our noun learning!
