Use this teaching resource when identifying nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Students cut out each word and paste them into the table under the correct heading. 

This worksheet is best used as independent practise to support your parts of speech lesson. It can also be used as a pre-lesson knowledge assessment to see what students already know, or as an exit ticket to gauge your students’ understanding of the material.

Challenge fast finishers to come up with more words for each section of the worksheet. Students can also use one word from each column in a sentence. 

If you have students struggling with the concepts, assign students to work with a partner or take a few of the parts of speech words off each section.
