Nouns worksheet for children to color by category: person (purple), thing (yellow), place (blue), animal (green).

Let’s go step by step to solve this coloring task.

We are told to “Color by the code.” That means each type of noun (person, place, thing, animal) has a color assigned to it. We need to look at each picture and decide what kind of noun it is — then color it with the right crayon color.

Here’s the color code:
- Person → purple
- Place → blue
- Thing → yellow
- Animal → green

Now let’s go through each picture one by one:

1. Sheep → This is an animal → Color it green
2. Girl → This is a person → Color her purple
3. Dog → This is an animal → Color it green
4. Elephant → This is an animal → Color it green
5. Church → This is a place → Color it blue
6. House → This is a place → Color it blue
7. Police officer → This is a person → Color him purple
8. Palm tree + tent → The tent is a thing, but the palm tree is part of nature — wait! Actually, in this context, we’re looking for nouns that fit the categories. The tent is a “thing” (you can touch it, it’s an object). The palm tree might be tricky — but since it’s drawn with the tent, and not labeled as a forest or park, we’ll treat the whole scene as “tent = thing”. So color the tent yellow. (Note: If your teacher says trees are things, that’s fine too — but usually in these worksheets, natural objects like trees are considered “things” unless they’re part of a named place.)
- Let’s double-check: In most elementary worksheets, a single tree or plant is often classified as a “thing” because it’s an object you can see/touch. A forest or park would be a “place”. So yes — tent and palm tree together? Still, the main focus is the tent → yellow
9. Running boy → This is a person → Color him purple
10. Bed → This is a thing → Color it yellow
11. Soda can → This is a thing → Color it yellow

Wait — let’s list them again clearly so we don’t miss any:

Pictures from top to bottom, left to right:

Row 1:
- Sheep → animal → green
- Girl → person → purple
- Dog → animal → green
- Elephant → animal → green

Row 2:
- Church → place → blue
- House → place → blue
- Police officer → person → purple
- Palm tree + tent → tent is a thing → yellow (palm tree also counts as thing here)

Row 3:
- Running boy → person → purple
- Bed → thing → yellow
- Soda can → thing → yellow

That’s all 11 pictures.

Let’s count how many of each:

Animals (green): sheep, dog, elephant → 3
Persons (purple): girl, police officer, running boy → 3
Places (blue): church, house → 2
Things (yellow): tent/palm tree, bed, soda can → 3

Perfect — adds up to 11.

So now, when you color:

- All animals (sheep, dog, elephant) → green
- All people (girl, police officer, running boy) → purple
- All places (church, house) → blue
- All things (tent, bed, soda can) → yellow

You’re done!

Final Answer:
Color the sheep, dog, and elephant green; the girl, police officer, and running boy purple; the church and house blue; and the tent, bed, and soda can yellow.
