This medium worksheet helps kindergartners decide which nouns are common and which are proper. In nine fill-in-the-blank questions, children mark store, boy, and hill as common nouns naming things and places, while Sunday, April, and Spot are sorted as proper nouns. They also remember that a noun names a person, place, or thing and that common nouns do not start with a capital letter.

A matching task then connects everyday words to specific examples — boy with Tom, store with Target, cat with Whiskers, and day with Saturday — turning the rule into a fun puzzle that sticks with young learners.
