Write Reflexive Pronouns Practice Activities
Grade 2 worksheets help children choose and write reflexive pronouns such as myself, herself, ourselves, and themselves in clear sentences.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding reflexive pronouns
These Grade 2 grammar worksheets give children focused practice writing reflexive pronouns correctly. Students learn that words such as myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves point back to the person or thing already named in the sentence.
The printable activities include sentence completion, pronoun choice, rewriting practice, and short writing prompts. Children connect each reflexive pronoun to its noun or subject so their sentences sound natural and complete.
Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject of a sentence also receives the action: “Mia dressed herself” or “The dog scratched itself.” In these worksheets, children practise seeing the link between the naming word or subject pronoun and the reflexive pronoun that follows it. The work stays concrete and sentence-based, which is right for Grade 2 writers who are still building control over pronouns.
Skill progression in the activities
Practice usually begins with choosing the correct word from a small group, then moves to filling blanks and rewriting sentences. Children may match “I” with “myself,” “he” with “himself,” “she” with “herself,” “we” with “ourselves,” and “they” with “themselves.” As the tasks progress, students must read the whole sentence instead of choosing a pronoun by sound alone.
A simple parent routine
At home, read one sentence aloud and ask, “Who is doing the action?” Then ask, “Is the action coming back to that same person or thing?” Have your child underline the subject and circle the reflexive pronoun. Finish by asking the child to say a new sentence about daily life, such as “I made the sandwich myself” or “We cleaned the room ourselves.”
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables during a pronoun lesson, grammar centers, morning work, or small-group reteaching. They also work well after students have learned subject pronouns, because the worksheets show how pronouns must agree in person and number. For a quick check, ask students to explain why “The girls helped themselves” needs “themselves” and not “herself.”
Common errors to watch for
Some children write nonstandard forms such as “hisself” or “theirselves.” Others use a reflexive pronoun where an object pronoun is needed, as in “Mom helped myself” instead of “Mom helped me.” Encourage students to check whether the subject and the reflexive pronoun refer to the same person or group.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What reflexive pronouns should a Grade 2 student know?
Grade 2 students commonly practise myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves. The goal is to match each one to the correct subject in a sentence.
How do these worksheets teach children to write reflexive pronouns?
The worksheets ask children to read the sentence, identify who or what the sentence is about, and then write the reflexive pronoun that points back to that same person or thing.
What is a simple example of a reflexive pronoun?
In the sentence “Ben tied his shoes himself,” the word “himself” is a reflexive pronoun because it refers back to Ben, the person doing the action.
How can I help my child avoid mistakes like “hisself” or “theirselves”?
Have your child use the standard list of reflexive pronouns as a check. Point out that the correct forms are “himself” and “themselves,” then practise them in short spoken and written sentences.

No. Object pronouns such as me, him, and them receive an action from someone else. Reflexive pronouns such as myself, himself, and themselves are used when the action refers back to the subject.
