The nouns are all animals and include a range of plural forms (add s, -y becomes -ies, plural form is the same as singular form as in deer, etc.) to provide varying levels of challenge, and a singular noun which ends in s (where should the apostrophe go?) Plenty of rules covered for discussion and explanation of both apostrophe use and plural formation.

Children can write the appropriate phrase on mini whiteboards, for example, before the answer is revealed.
