Collective nouns can be tricky. We've made a game on road trips by naming collective nouns for animals. With young children, this educational game elicits lots of giggles.
Q. What's a group of geese called?
A gaggle.
Q. What's a group of lions called?
A pride.
And so on...
But, have you heard this one?
Q. What's a group of secret agents called?
A bond of secret agents.
For your summer road trip, here's a new spin collective nouns for people, which you may not be familiar with:
