Teaching Kids About Common & Proper Nouns (Rock It!, Part 4: The Slouch Game)

submitted by secondgrade on 10/27/14 1

This video features an activity from my book "Rock It! Transform Classroom Learning with Movement, Songs, and Stories." The book includes over 100 classroom-tested ideas, activities, and strategies that incorporate music, movement, and storytelling to improve student learning and energize the overall environment. In the video I share a quick, engaging game that helps students distinguish between proper nouns (which require capital letters because they name specific people, places, and things) and common nouns (which don't require capitals because they don't refer to specific people, places, and things). More information about the book can be found at rockitbook.weebly.com. For Teaching Tips, articles, and other resources on teaching the whole child, visit and subscribe at www.stevereifman.com.
