About this resource
Description
Action verbs are the words that tell what someone or something does, like jump, swim, and roar. These action verbs flash cards help young learners connect each verb to a clear picture, so they can name the action, say it in a sentence, and use it in their own writing. Strong verbs bring energy to speaking and writing from preschool through third grade.
The action verbs flash cards print on plain paper or cardstock and fold over, with a picture on the front and the verb on the back. Show a picture, such as a frog in mid-leap or a duck splashing in a puddle, and ask children what is happening. Then flip the card to read the verb and a short model sentence together. Use the set in small groups, literacy centers, speech practice, or on a word wall during a verb lesson.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page and How to Use page with prep tips
- 18 fold-over picture and verb cards with model sentences
- 1st grade practice worksheet: circle the action word for each picture
- Card list answer key
- Practice worksheet answer key
3 Reasons These Cards Help Kids
First, every verb is paired with a picture of the action, which makes an abstract part of speech easy to see. Second, the model sentence on each card shows the verb doing its job next to a noun, which builds early grammar. Third, acting out and saying each verb grows vocabulary, so children can choose lively verbs when they write.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Play charades by acting out a card while the group guesses the verb. Ask older students to write a new sentence for each verb or to add a word that tells how the action happens. At home, flip through a few cards before bedtime reading and look for the same verbs in the story. These preschool parts of speech flash cards also make a cheerful word wall display.
