Paper pockets - plural of nouns

We made some paper pockets and put them on a wall in the classroom. We decided to use them to learn and revise plural of nouns. Give each students some pieces of paper with nouns that form both regular and irregular plural. Ask them to put the noun in the correct pocket and say its plural form. Pay attention on the spelling rules and pronunciation rules that arise when forming the plural forms of the nouns.



You can call these vocabulary banks. The idea is that you add words in the pockets from time to time. It is a good thing that they are displayed in the classroom and students can use them when they are not sure about the plural of some nouns. Also, you can enrich the collection in each group by adding new words every now and then. You can also do this with verbs in different tenses or vocabulary categories, positive and negative adjectives etc.
