Reflexive Practice Activities
Printable Grade 2 worksheets for practicing reflexive pronouns such as myself, herself, ourselves, and themselves in clear sentences.
Practice that builds confidence
What reflexive pronouns do
These Grade 2 reflexive pronoun worksheets help children understand when a pronoun points back to the subject of a sentence. Students practise using words such as myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves with actions that someone does to or for the same person.
The printable activities include sentence completion, choosing the correct reflexive pronoun, fixing mistakes, and writing simple sentences. Each task keeps the focus on meaning, so children learn that She packed herself a lunch is different from She packed her a lunch.
Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object refer to the same person or thing. In Grade 2 language, children can think of them as mirror pronouns: the sentence looks back at who is doing the action. Examples include I made myself a card, The dog scratched itself, and The children cleaned up after themselves.
How the practice builds
The worksheets move from recognition to use. Children may first match I with myself or they with themselves, then complete sentences with a word bank, and finally write their own sentences. This progression helps them connect subject pronouns, number, and meaning before they are asked to create original sentences.
A simple home routine
Read one sentence aloud and ask, Who is doing the action? Then ask, Is the action coming back to the same person? If the answer is yes, have your child choose the reflexive pronoun that matches. Keep a small chart nearby: I/myself, you/yourself, he/himself, she/herself, it/itself, we/ourselves, you/yourselves, they/themselves.
Classroom uses
Teachers can use these pages during a pronoun mini-lesson, grammar centers, morning work, or small-group reteaching. Students can underline the subject in one color and circle the reflexive pronoun in another to make the connection visible. Partner checking works well because children must explain why the pronoun matches the subject.
Common errors to watch for
Many second graders choose a pronoun that sounds familiar but does not agree with the subject, such as The boys helped himself. Others use a reflexive pronoun where an ordinary pronoun is needed, as in Mom gave myself a pencil. Remind children that the reflexive word is only correct when it points back to the same subject.

Tell your child that a reflexive pronoun points back to the person or thing doing the action. In I washed myself, I and myself are the same person.
