What Are Naming Words?

Naming words are words that name:

• A person – teacher, mother, boy
• A place – park, school
• An animal – dog, bird
• A thing – book, table

Naming words are also called nouns.

In Grade 1, children learn to identify naming words in word lists and simple sentences.

What is included in this Naming words Worksheet pack?

Circle the Naming Words

Children read a mixed list of words and circle only the naming words.

This helps them:

• Identify nouns
• Ignore action words
• Ignore describing words

Sort the Naming Words

Children sort words into categories:

• People
• Places

• Things

This strengthens understanding and helps children classify words correctly.

Write Naming Words from the Picture

For example, they may write:

• baby

• sun
• mat

This activity helps children:

• Think independently
• Strengthen vocabulary

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a color name a naming word?

Usually, color words like red, blue, and green are describing words (adjectives), not naming words.

Example:

• red ball → “red” describes the ball
• ball → naming word

However, if the colour is used as a name, it can sometimes act like a noun.
Example: I like blue. (Here, “blue” is used as a thing.)

For Grade 1, colour words are generally taught as describing words.

Is a name like Riya a naming word?

Yes. A person’s name like Riya is a naming word. It is a special naming word called a proper noun.

---

Is Monday a naming word?

Yes. Days of the week (Monday, Tuesday) are naming words because they name specific days.

---

Is “running” a naming word?

No. Running is usually an action word (verb).
