About this worksheet

A collective noun names a group of people, animals or things as one: a pride of lions, a team of players, a bunch of grapes. The group word is a noun that stands for many, and second graders learn many of them from reading and from nature. This worksheet gives ten sentences with a blank for the group word and a word bank at the top with a few more words than are needed.

The child reads the sentence, thinks about what is being grouped, and writes the group word that fits best. Ask your child to look at the word after the blank. A school of fish, a herd of cows and a pack of wolves each go with one kind of animal, and the word bank helps them match each group to what it names.

What your child will learn

  • Use a collective noun for a group
  • Match a group word to the things it names
  • Choose from a word bank
