About this resource
A twenty-one-word bank supplies collective nouns for animal groups. Students match each specialized group name with the appropriate animal, using the introductory explanation to understand the task. A labelled answer page supports checking and discussing unfamiliar expressions.
Curriculum reference — Ontario: Ontario Grade 2 explicitly includes collective nouns; preserve culturally established animal-group expressions. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
