This simple verb game is perfect for introducing action verbs!
Many of you have asked for games to reinforce basic grammar concepts. Here’s a simple game for introducing action verbs.
Children simply take turns moving around the board with a die. They name the verb depicted in the picture (or one that would make sense).
Next, they write the verb in the appropriate column on the recording sheet. Is the verb something they like to do, something they don’t like to do, or something they’re not sure about?
It kills me that my Seven doesn’t like to read (gah!). Thankfully he’s a strong reader and is learning to enjoy our family read alouds.
But I digress. 😉
I hope you can use this simple game for introducing verbs! I’ll be sharing more grammar games over the coming months.

My seven does not like reading either but he’ll sit perfectly still for hours while I read novels aloud!! Please tell me he’ll like it one day!
Anna G says
The fact that he will listen for hours is a VERY good sign! I definitely think he’ll learn to love it. 🙂
Angie says

Thank you for the verb games. Love them. I will be listing the verbs from the pictures on a separate sheet for my students who may need extra help. Differentiated learning.

This game looks great, but sadly won’t download for me, nor will the link to open the top tips work 🙁

Hi Dora!
This is Kate, Anna’s assistant. I’m sorry you’re having trouble! I just tested the link, and it opened for me. I’m using Firefox. Anna likes Google Chrome. Please try one of those browsers if you haven’t already. If it still doesn’t work for you, please let us know all the things you have tried. Thanks!
Dora Allen says
Thank you Kate, google chrome did the trick. I look forward to using it.
Thanks again,
Dora.
