Kids Corner: Collective nouns are funny
So that is a “walk” of snails. It turns out that groups of animals have names. You might have heard of a pride of lions or a pack of dogs. Some of these names can be pretty funny. Let’s take a look!
· A cauldron of bats – a cauldron is that huge black pot you see witches making potions in
· A nuisance of cats – a nuisance is something that makes life difficult or annoying
· An army of caterpillars
· A cowardice of dogs! – so cats are annoying but dogs are cowards?
· A parade of elephants
· A tower of giraffes
· A smack of jellyfish
There are so many more. If you enjoy these collective nouns let me know and I will do a part 2!
Have a great day and take some pictures if you come across a cauldron of bats. If you walk past a zoo on the way to school, you can tell everyone you saw a tower of giraffes!
