Nouns Sorting Worksheet
The activity provides a mixed word bank above four labeled columns for common noun categories. Learners decide whether each term names a person, place, thing, or animal and record it under the appropriate heading. This structure makes category boundaries visible and gives practice recognizing that nouns can name more than objects. A model sorting page follows, enabling side-by-side review of every placement and discussion of choices that were initially uncertain.
