Identify Reflexive Pronouns Practice Activities
Grade 2 learners identify reflexive pronouns such as myself, himself, and themselves and connect each one to the noun or pronoun it refers back to.
Practice that builds confidence
What reflexive pronouns do
These Grade 2 grammar worksheets help children recognize reflexive pronouns and understand how they point back to the subject of a sentence. Students practise spotting words such as myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.
The printable activities include sentence reading, circling or underlining reflexive pronouns, matching pronouns to the correct person or thing, and choosing the word that completes a sentence. Each task builds careful reading, pronoun awareness, and stronger sentence sense.
A reflexive pronoun is used when the subject of the sentence also receives the action. In Mia dressed herself, the word herself points back to Mia. Grade 2 students do not need a long grammar lecture; they need to see that the -self or -selves word must match the person, animal, or thing already named.
Practice progression on the page
The worksheets move from simple recognition to meaning-based choices. Children may first circle myself or itself in a sentence, then match he with himself or we with ourselves. Later items ask them to choose the reflexive pronoun that fits the sentence, so they must read the subject before answering.
A simple parent routine
At home, read one sentence aloud and ask, “Who is doing the action?” Then ask, “Which pronoun points back to that same person or thing?” For example, in The kitten cleaned itself, the kitten is doing the action and itself points back to the kitten. Have your child touch the subject with one finger and the reflexive pronoun with another to show the connection.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables during a Grade 2 pronouns lesson, as grammar centers, morning work, or a quick check after introducing -self and -selves words. They also work well for small groups: one student reads the sentence, one identifies the subject, and one explains why the reflexive pronoun matches.
Common errors to watch for
Some children choose a pronoun that does not agree with the subject, such as Dad made myself a sandwich instead of Dad made himself a sandwich. Others may say nonstandard forms like hisself or theirselves. Encourage students to return to the subject first, then select the correct reflexive form.
