Use this easy-prep craft activity to practise identifying irregular plurals of singular nouns!

Students write irregular noun rules on the cactus spikes and surround it with flowers containing example words that demonstrate these rules. For example, a spike with the rule ‘-fe to -ves’ could be surrounded by the words knives, wives or lives.

Instructions are included for completing this activity individually with one cactus per student or as a whole class collectively on one cactus.

Top Teacher Tips to take this activity to the next level:

• Enlarge your cactus to A3 size to create an extra-large display with more room for spikes, flowers and decoration.
• Print the black & white templates on thick cardstock and use watercolour paints for an engaging art activity.
• Stack 1-3 flowers on top of each other and apply glue only on the centre circle to create beautiful three-dimensional floral decorations for your cacti!

The perfect fun activity for end of term, open night prep or as an engaging way to pre-assess!
