Irregular Plural Nouns Fill In

About this worksheet

A class trip to a nature park runs through this 2nd grade story, which has twelve blanks for irregular plural nouns. Each blank shows the singular in parentheses, from (child) to (wolf), and a word bank holds the answers. The story includes a school of silver fish, a family of deer and a flock of fluffy sheep, so students meet plurals that do not change at all. A Make Your Own sentence closes the page. The skill is Common Core L.2.1b. The answer key reprints the full story with every blank filled.

What's inside this worksheet

Word Bank

Twelve plurals in a grid: children, wolves, sheep, teeth, women, feet, geese, men, deer, fish, leaves and mice.

Nature Park Adventure

Five short paragraphs about the trip, from stamping (foot) on the ground to park rangers who were friendly (man) and (woman). Students write the plural in each blank.

Make Your Own

One line for a new sentence using any plural from the word bank.

Answer key

The whole story with the plurals written in, plus what to accept for the student sentence.

How teachers use it

Plurals that stay the same

Fish, deer and sheep do not change. Point this out before students start, since many will write fishes or sheeps.

Read it all first

Have students read the whole story once before filling any blank. Context helps with (tooth), which comes up in the coyote sentence.

Cross off the bank

Ask students to cross each word off the bank as they use it. Anyone left with two words knows where to look again.
