How to Use This Pack

Four pages of collective nouns, the words that name a group. On two pages each picture shows a group, and children write its word from a word bank: a herd of zebras, a pod of dolphins. On two pages each sentence has three choices, and children circle the group word that fits: A swarm of bees buzzed by the hive.

In the Classroom

Start with groups children know: a class of students, a team of players. Then add the animal groups and make a chart with a picture of each.

At Home

Look for groups together: a stack of books, a bunch of bananas, a pair of socks. Ask your child for the group word.

Tips for Success

  • Look at what is in the group
  • Animals have group words of their own
  • A pair is two
  • Some group words are fun to say
  • Check the answer key
