This Grade 2 worksheet on Vocabulary: Animals – Features, Groups and Movement helps learners build strong subject-based vocabulary related to animal body parts, habitats, collective nouns, and movement types. Developing vocabulary in this area improves reading comprehension and strengthens connections with EVS and Science topics.
Through three structured multiple-choice exercises, students identify animal features (feather, shell, claws, trunk, nest, paws, wings, hide, den, neck), animal group words (flock, herd, school, pride, swarm, litter, colony, pack, parliament, troop), and animal movement words (slither, waddle, gallop, crawl, fly, swim, climb, hop, flutter, lumber). Each activity builds word recognition and helps learners describe animals more accurately.
Understanding animal-related vocabulary is important because:
1. It strengthens descriptive language skills.
2. It builds knowledge of collective nouns.
3. It improves comprehension of animal-based texts.
4. It connects language learning with environmental studies.
