About this resource
Description
Verbs are the words that make a sentence move. A verb tells what someone or something does, like jump, bark, or honk. When second graders learn to spot the verb, they understand how a sentence works and can choose stronger action words in their own writing. This verb city worksheet takes children on a trip through a busy town where every sentence has one action word hiding inside it.
The worksheet has two parts. In the first part, children read six short sentences about city life, such as a bus stopping at the corner and a dog barking at the pigeons, and draw a line under the verb in each one. Every sentence has exactly one action verb, so children must read carefully instead of guessing. In the second part, children use a word box of four verbs to finish four more city sentences, writing the missing verb on the line. Use the sheet for independent practice, a quick review, or a partner check, then go over the answer key together.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- 6 underline-the-verb sentences and 4 word box fill-in sentences

Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- Finding the one verb in a full sentence builds the careful reading habit that grammar work depends on
- Writing verbs from a word box moves children from spotting action words to using them
- This 2nd grade verbs worksheet uses a fun city theme, so practice feels like a story instead of a drill
Teacher and Parent Ideas
- Act out each verb from the verb city worksheet before children underline it
- Take a short walk and list the action words you see, like walk, wave, and drive
- Have children write one more city sentence and underline its verb
- Play a quick game of charades where classmates guess the verb
