7 Noun Centers That Are a Must-Have For Teaching Grammar

Hey terrific teacher,

Are you looking for an engaging and hands-on way for your students to learn about parts of speech? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with these cute noun centers!

7 NOUN CENTERS FOR TEACHING GRAMMAR
Check out the noun centers here.

Why use centers?

  • A lot of students learn better through hands-on activities,
  • Centers allow for pair and group collaboration,
  • Once prepped, these resources can be used for months and years to come,
  • They can be a great independent activity during morning work or literacy centers.

So, let’s look at the 7 noun centers for teaching grammar! There are a variety of activities. Some are very visual (with just pictures), some have pictures and words, and some are word based.

Some of the centers are completely hands-on and perfect for fine motor. Others are great for reading fluency or sentence writing!

Recognizing Nouns – Clip Cards

It’s important for your students to be able to distinguish between nouns and other parts of speech (like verbs). These clip cards are perfect for helping students decide what is a noun and what is not.

Pegs are great for fine motor, but if you don’t have any pegs (or clips), students can also use whiteboard markers to circle or underline the answer.

Students look at the pictures (and read the word if they are not sure what the picture is) and decide if it is a noun or not. There are 16 clip cards included in this center.

Recognizing Nouns – Find Nouns In A Sentence

The first activity (clip cards) is very visual, but it’s also important to have centers that challenge students and address other areas of learning.

In this center, students read the sentence strips and find the nouns. They can circle or underline the noun with a whiteboard marker if they wish. Next, they look at the number on the sentence strip and find the matching box on the worksheet. Then, they write down the noun in the box.

If you want to save on printing worksheets, you can just ask your students to write the nouns that they find in their workbooks, on a piece of paper, or on a mini whiteboard. There are 16 sentence strips to work on in this center. Grammar AND reading fluency practice? Win Win!

Sorting Nouns – Ice Creams

Students need to understand that nouns are people, places, things, and animals. In this cute center, students sort the ice cream scoops onto the four ice cream cones. Each cone has 6 scoops with pictures on.

This center is fun because what kid doesn’t love ice cream?!

Sorting Nouns – Puzzles

This puzzle center is another great way for students to practice sorting nouns by person, place, thing, and animal. There are 8 different puzzles to complete, with very cute clip art.

Tip – I strongly recommend laminating all of these centers so that they can be used over and over again without getting ripped or marked.

Sort & Write Nouns – Sentences

This center has two activities, which makes it versatile. First, students sort the 24 pictures by person, place, thing, and animal. There are lots of ways this can be done. Students can stack the pictures on top of each other, line them up in rows, or even place them into boxes or pots.

Next, students select the pictures of nouns and write sentences using them. You can differentiate this based on your learner’s capabilities. For example, some students could just write a simple sentence with one noun. Others could write a silly sentence with 2-3 nouns (using a person, place, and thing/animal).

The worksheet that comes with this center allows for 6 sentences to be written. If you’d like to save on printing, you can ask your students to write their sentences in their workbooks, on a piece of paper, or on a mini whiteboard. This also allows for longer sentences and more sentences.

Sorting Nouns – Popcorn

In this center, students sort the 16 pieces of popcorn between the two buckets, based on whether the noun is singular or plural.

Cute right? You can check out the centers here.

This is a great way for students to recognize the difference between singular and plural nouns. The same 8 words have been chosen and they come in the singular and plural version (e.g., flower and flowers). As this is not a visual activity (with noun pictures), it’s great for word reading practice.

Sorting Nouns – French Fries

This final center is perfect for students to reinforce the difference between common and proper nouns. Students sort the 16 french fries between the two boxes. Just like the popcorn center, this is not a visual activity (with noun pictures), so it’s great for word reading practice.

I hope you’ve enjoyed checking out these colorful, engaging, and hands-on activities, These 7 noun centers for teaching grammar are perfect for elementary students! They are the perfect addition to your Grammar lessons. These activities are ideal for parts of speech lessons, but also literacy centers or morning work. You can check them out here.

Finding the time/energy to exercise is a big strug Finding the time/energy to exercise is a big struggle for me.

When I was first teaching, I used to play tennis and do zumba classes and things after school. I had that social accountability of other people being there. 

Nowadays, I’m pretty good with going to the gym on a weekend if some of my family members are there. 

But I really struggle to do exercise on my own. I just don’t have the motivation! 

The most I can manage is my morning walk sometimes. 

Does anyone else struggle with this? Knowing that you need to exercise but just not doing it!

Most people really adore doughnuts! The students in your class are probably no exception. 

How excited do you think they would be if you told them that they were going to be making one of these crafts? 

What kid doesn’t get excited about things like popcorn and sundaes?!

For me personally, I’m still making the most money from places like Pinterest and my blog. 

Social media just doesn’t quite compare. I still think blogging has got so much potential! 

I would be curious to hear your thoughts?

This week on the podcast I’m doing an episode about blogging and I answer lots of your burning questions.

This week on the terrific teacherpreneur podcast, I’m talking all about upselling to products within your freebies and paid products.

This is something that I have been doing for many years, but a couple of months ago I decided to start tracking my efforts with UTM codes.

In a short amount of time, I was able to see money coming in from just a few links (it’s especially cool to make money from freebies)!

Tell me, do you upsell within your products? If not, will you be doing so from now onwards?

First off, don’t take it personally! 

If there’s less traffic on TpT overall, because of something like summer, a natural disaster, or the holiday season, that will trickle down to you and it is not personal!

Next, acknowledge that it’s a good thing for buyers.

If teachers are burnt out or taking time off, it’s nice for them to have a break. Your buyers deserve it!

Finally, accept that TPT has highs and lows. 

Although the lack of consistency and the lows can be very upsetting, the opposite is that there can be these crazy highs! There is no ceiling with earnings on TpT. The sky is the limit and there’s potential to earn literally millions of dollars. You can’t say that for the average job!

Definitely check out this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur podcast! 

I am sharing wisdom like this and much much more. This week, we are talking all about what to do when sales are low, slow, or plateau. There’s something literally for everyone!
