Warm-Up Activity: What Can You Count?

• Ask the students to write down 5 things they can count on a piece of paper.
• After 2 minutes, ask for volunteers to share their lists.
• Discuss as a class which items can be counted and which cannot.

Introducing Countable and Uncountable Nouns

• Write two columns on the board labeled "Countable Nouns" and "Uncountable Nouns".
• Explain that countable nouns are things that can be counted (e.g. pencils) while uncountable nouns are things that cannot be counted (e.g. water).
• Give examples of both types of nouns and have the students categorize them into the two columns on the board.

Practice Activity: Count or Uncount?

• Provide a list of words and have the students determine whether they are countable or uncountable.
• Provide a visual aid, such as pictures of different items, to help the students determine the countability of each item.
• After completing the activity, review the answers as a class and discuss any items that were unclear.

Closing Activity: Countable and Uncountable Hunt

• Divide the class into pairs and give each pair a sheet of paper labeled "Countable and Uncountable Hunt".
• Instruct the pairs to walk around the classroom and find 5 examples of countable and 5 examples of uncountable nouns.
• Once they have found all 10 items, they should write them down on their sheet of paper and bring it to you for review.
• Reward the pairs who complete the activity first with a small prize.

Homework: Countable and Uncountable Worksheet

• Assign a worksheet that includes practice exercises for countable and uncountable nouns.
• Remind the students to use their notes and the examples given in class to help them complete the worksheet.
