Activity Ideas

1. Challenge your students to find five of each type of noun included in the list : abstract, concrete, proper and common nouns.

2.  When we use a noun in front of another noun to describe it that first noun becomes an adjective, it is the describing word.  Let your students have some fun mixing up words.  Ask them to pair up nouns to create things that have never existed and then write a definition for it.

For example: a Dad light (a night light that has your father's face on it), a family roll (a giant bread roll that is big enough for the whole family) or a beetroot rattle (a baby's rattle made out of dried beetroot).
