Noun Lesson Plans

Students use an Inspiration template to complete a graphic organizer listing nouns that name people, places, and things. They use the "Notes" feature in Inspiration to write complete sentences using the nouns that they have chosen in each category.

Students identify nouns in the world and categorize them according to words that name a person, place, or thing. They use the nouns in a KIDPIX on the computer.

Learners investigate nouns. In this noun lesson, students search their classroom for things that are nouns. Learners put the nouns they find into categories and record their findings on chart paper. Students discuss their charts. Learners then read a book and write a noun they find in the book on a post it to share with the class.

Students differentiate between letters and numbers or nouns and verbs. They engage in a team competition with cones marked with letters or numbers. Each team member tries to knock the cones of the other team, the letter team and the number team.

Students identify nouns and complete dictionary work. For this noun lesson, students find nouns in sentences, and look them up either with a traditional or online dictionary. They identify things in the room and name them with nouns before drawing pictures of items that can be named with nouns.

Everyone knows that a noun is a person, place, thing, or idea - but what happens when you have people, places, things, or ideas? Use this SMART board activity to guide your class through plural nouns. Several activities, including making collages out of magazine pictures and finding all plural nouns in a short story, reinforce this important skill for young grammarians. Though the lesson is designed for a classroom with a SMART board, many elements could work without the technology.

Students examine the use of nouns, common nouns, and proper nouns. They identify examples of each type of noun, in small groups locate as many proper nouns in a magazine or newspaper, and write a short story using at least ten common and five proper nouns.

Fifth graders edit a story.  In this nouns lesson, 5th graders learn about common and proper nouns and how each noun is used.  Students use what they've learned to edit their papers looking for character names and specific places.

First graders identify singular and plural nouns. For this nouns lesson, 1st graders view a tumble book and identify different nouns from the story for people, places, and things. Students name nouns during a cubing activity and use Kidspiration to share the nouns they came up with as a group.

Young scholars play a game.  In this grammar lesson, students identify verbs in sentences, play a game with nouns, discuss why nouns are important and how often they are used.  Young scholars complete a nouns and verbs worksheet.
