World Around Us Words: Places and Living Environments for Grade 2 

This Grade 2 worksheet on Vocabulary: Places & Living Environments helps learners strengthen their understanding of different places, habitats, and community settings. By classifying words into categories such as indoor and outdoor places, land and water animals, and city and village vocabulary, students build strong real-world word knowledge. 
Through three engaging sorting exercises, children practise identifying everyday places like garden, library, forest, kitchen, classroom, zoo, and office. They also classify animals based on habitats such as dolphin, lion, octopus, elephant, kangaroo, and shark. Finally, they distinguish between village and city words including apartment, farm, pond, flyover, tractor, metro, and mall.
