About

Students practise regular plural nouns with a friendly Halloween crew. A rule card teaches when to add -s, when to add -es (after s, x, z, ch and sh) and when to change y to i and add -es. Then students drag the correctly spelled plural into short sentences and pick which rule fits. Every direction is read aloud.

What's included

  • 10 interactive scenes
  • A plural rules card (-s, -es, change y to i)
  • 6 drag-the-plural sentences
  • 3 rule-check questions
  • Narrated directions on every scene

Learning objectives

  • I can make a noun plural by adding -s.
  • I can tell when a noun needs -es (it ends in s, x, z, ch or sh) and spell it.
  • I can spell the plural of a noun that ends in a consonant + y by changing the y to i and adding -es.
  • I can choose the correct plural spelling in a sentence.
