Transcript Singular and Plural Noun Activities:
Today I'm going to talk about my favorite singular and plural noun ESL activities.
So the first one you can try out is a crossword. So go to discovery.com puzzle maker and you can make your own crossword or you can also find a bunch of examples online. The way that I do it is I put the singular version of a word and then in the crossword the answer is the plural version or you could do vice versa as well.
The second activity I have is Dictogloss. This is an activity for higher-level students. You can find or write a passage with lots of examples of the target grammar or vocabulary. In this case a singular and plural nouns and then you can put students into pairs, read out the passage at a faster than normal pace for the level of students. Students have to take notes and then they can talk together with their partner to try to recreate what they just heard, and then you can read it out again students repeat the process and then in the end they can compare what they have with the original version and see how close they were.
All right, the third one is picture prompt. So this is a good activity for beginners. You can just show a picture with a bunch of like things happening in the picture and a bunch of objects and then ask students what "do you see?" They might see like a cat, dogs, children, a child, a person, people, Etc. So you can kind of find out how much students know before you really jump into your lesson on singular and plural nouns.
Alright, the fourth one is Is That Sentence Correct? I usually will do about five sentences for this activity. I'll put them on a PowerPoint slide or on the Whiteboard. Some sentences are correct, some are not correct. In this case, your errors would be related to singular and plural nouns. If the sentence is incorrect students have to change it to make it correct.
The last activity that I have for you is Vocabulary Auction. This does require a bit of preparation but it's totally worth it. Make some sentences with singular and plural nouns and then cut them up word by word. Put students into teams and give them some money. They have to bid on words that they think will help them make a sentence. Once students have used up all their money, there's a bit of a trading time. Students can trade words with other teams and then they put together as many complete sentences as they can. The team with the most words is the winner.
