Verbs

 We completed a couple of different activities when discussing verbs.

First, I played the Dr. Jean song “Verbs”.  In the song she says:  verbs, verbs, action words.  Things that you can do.  

The children made a big circle and acted out the word if it was an action.  They acted out the words such as walk, jog, swim, hop, etc.  They had to be still when she said words such as dog or tree.  The pictures are not very good.

     

     We also played charades.   I showed one child a picture of an action.  That child went to the middle and acted it out.  The rest of the class guessed the action.  Here are a few examples.  Can you guess the action?

Clap

frown

jump

wave
