You’ve got one tomato and I’ve got two tomatos. Right? Wrong! I’ve got two tomatoes!

Fun ways of using this resource:
* Create a spelling bee game. The teacher gives you the single version of the noun and you need to spell out the plural version.
* Use the words for fun hangman games
* Quick fire tests – your teacher gives you the starting word. If you get it right you give the next. If you get it right you remain standing. If you get it wrong, you sit down.
