Basically, Collective Nouns is a term of a specific collected nouns.

So that's the list. Read on guys!
Most students have the difficulty in memorizing the collective nouns as there are lists of them. So, I am going to share tips that I have encountered with.
TIPS FOR MEMORIZING COLLECTIVE NOUNS
1) Read the Collective Nouns lists. (There's no short-cut for this, dearies)
2) Do visual association inside your mind.
3) Try to utilize the collective nouns in your daily speech. This could help you to practice the
knowledge that you've learned.
So, the key points are:
Read ----> Visualize -----> Use
The visual association that I meant is like the examples below.
1) A chain of islands
A
of 
2)A party of friends
A
of 
Easy, isn't it? By doing so, you could apply more effective way of memorization :)
Another tip of applying collective nouns is to do exercises on collective nouns. Below I listed the link for the worksheet.
