Hello, little word explorers! Get ready for a super fun adventure into the world of words. Today, we’re going to explore something called nouns for Nursery 2 class.
What are nouns?
Nouns are words that name people, animals, places or things.
Think about your favourite toy, Paw Patrol – that’s a noun! Your best place to go – that’s a noun, too! Even the names of your friends are nouns because we can name them.
Nouns help us talk about:
- People: Like mommy, daddy, sister, brother, friends, and even yourself!
- Places: Your house, the park, the zoo, and even magical lands in stories!
- Animals: like lions, tigers, cats, dogs, and mention a few more you know.
- Things you can see and touch: Anything you can reach out and name, including cars, toys, animals, flowers, and more!
Let’s play a game! Can you find one thing that you can see in your home? Call them by name aloud! Those are all nouns! Now close your eyes and list your top three things you love. Name them! Did you say ice cream? Ice cream is a noun, too.
Remember:
- Nouns can be big or small: a rat or an elephant.
- They are people we know, like our teachers or friends.
- They are things we love, like dinosaur toys.
- They are places we love to go – the shop or the park.
- They can be one word or many: car or cars.
The next time you see something, try to name it. You’re using your noun power. Now, explore the world and discover all the fantastic nouns waiting for you to find.
