Pet Names Proper Nouns Worksheets | 50 Read the Clue Puzzles | 1st Grade Grammar

Ribbit — ESL/EFL Worksheet Resource

These 10 pet-themed proper noun worksheets give 1st graders 50 short clues to read, such as "A spiky little pet that sleeps in the day", and ask them to write the pet's name with a capital letter. Page 1 explains that the names of pets are proper nouns too, with the model sentence "The red dog is called Speedy." Each page has five clues, a picture of each pet, and a word bank of names printed in lower case (luna, spike, toby, nibbles, mochi), so children must read the clue, match it to the picture and capitalise the name as they write it. Each word bank has more names than clues. The clues describe dogs, cats, birds, fish, a pig, a rabbit, a hamster, a guinea pig, a hedgehog, a turtle, a lizard, a parrot and a worm, so the pages double as a short reading and animal-vocabulary task.
