Explore irregular plurals with 32 colourful picture cards, adult guidance and four activity ideas for home, classroom or speech and language sessions.

This printable resource helps children explore the difference between one and more than one, including words that change, such as mouse/mice, and words that stay the same, such as sheep/sheep.

What’s included

• 32 illustrated cards forming 16 singular and plural pairs
• Clear written labels on each card
• Adult guidance for supportive, low-pressure practice

How to use

Print and cut out the cards, then choose a few pairs to explore together. Match singular and plural pictures, sort them into “one” and “more than one”, or use the words in short sentences.
