Noun worksheets for kindergarten

A naming word names a person, an animal, a place or a thing

Make a nouns worksheet. A noun is a naming word: it names a person, an animal, a place or a thing.

On the second, eight naming words are written into four boxes: a person, an animal, a place, a thing.

Chosen by hand

Every word on these pages was picked by hand. A naming word here is never a word that is also an everyday action word, such as duck or fish, so each word has one right answer.

Say it first

Play it out loud before the page: “Dog. Can I do it? No. Is it a thing I can see? Yes. It is a naming word.”

Good questions

Can my child read the words alone?

Many are short words a beginner can sound out, such as cat and hen. Others, such as queen and school, are read together. Each word has its picture.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. Turn on “Answer key page”.

Do you have action words too?

Yes. The verbs worksheet maker has pages for action words.

Can I print in black and white?

Yes. Choose “Black and white” under “Print in”. The page uses very little ink.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
