This worksheet is designed to help children learn how to categorize nouns as
Person,
Place, or
Thing. The task involves looking at each image and determining whether it represents a person, a place, or a thing, then marking the correct category.
Let’s go through each image one by one and determine the correct classification:
---
1. Fish
-
Image: A fish.
-
Category:
Thing
→ A fish is an animal, not a person, and not a location. It's an object/creature, so it's classified as a
thing.
✔ Correct answer:
Thing
---
2. Girl (child)
-
Image: A girl with pigtails.
-
Category:
Person
→ This is a human being, so it's clearly a
person.
✔ Correct answer:
Person
---
3. Schoolhouse
-
Image: A building labeled "SCHOOL".
-
Category:
Place
→ A school is a location where people go to learn, so it's a
place.
✔ Correct answer:
Place
---
4. Beach scene (umbrella, sun, ball)
-
Image: A beach with an umbrella, sun, and ball.
-
Category:
Place
→ This depicts a beach, which is a
location, even though objects are shown. The overall image represents a
place.
✔ Correct answer:
Place
---
5. Basket
-
Image: A striped basket with a heart.
-
Category:
Thing
→ A basket is an inanimate object, so it's a
thing.
✔ Correct answer:
Thing
---
6. Dress

Image: A fancy dress.
-
Category:
Thing
→ Clothing is an object, not a person or location, so it's a
thing.
✔ Correct answer:
Thing
---
7. Owl
-
Image: A cartoon owl.
-
Category:
Thing
→ An owl is an animal, not a person, and not a place. So, it's considered a
thing (in this context, animals are often categorized as things unless they are people).
✔ Correct answer:
Thing
---
8. King (cartoon character)
-
Image: A king with a crown and cape.
-
Category:
Person
→ Even though it's a cartoon character, it represents a human figure (a king), so it's a
person.

Person
