Instructional Ideas

  • Since there will be a lot of crossed lines on the page after kids are done with matching, have them write out each plural noun on the back of the page or a separate sheet of paper
  • Assign this page for homework, as a warm-up exercise, or as an assessment

Classroom Considerations

  • This may end up looking like a big mess of lines by end, so you'll want to review with students to make sure they've made the correct connections

Pros

  • The font is large and easy to read
  • The first one is completed as an example

Cons

  • None
