Sorting Nouns - Worksheet
A cut and arrange activity which involves students using their grammar skill to sort through nouns and categorise them.
This teaching resource includes 40 nouns that need to be sorted evenly into four groups; person, place, thing and animal.
Students may need assistance with the vocabulary, so a device may need to be at hand to help them learn new words.
