About this resource

Description

Verbs are the words that make a sentence move, and the Verbs are Actions Verb Worksheet helps second graders spot them in everyday life. A verb tells what someone or something does, like swim, run or climb. This verbs are actions verb worksheet connects each action to a picture so children can see the verb before they write it.

How to Use This Worksheet

Students look at six picture cards showing animals and objects in action: a fish, a cow, a ball, a duck, a bear and a puppy. They choose the action verb that matches each picture from the word box and write it neatly on the line. Each word is used once, so students must think about what is really happening in every picture. It makes a quick 2nd grade parts of speech worksheet for grammar lessons, morning work or homework.

What’s Included

  • A word box with six action verbs in large, easy-to-read type
  • Six colorful picture cards, each with its own writing line
  • An answer key for fast checking

Why It Helps Kids Learn Verbs

First, pictures make an abstract idea concrete, because children can watch the action instead of only reading about it. Second, choosing from a word box builds careful reading and matching skills. Third, writing each verb by hand strengthens spelling and helps students remember that verbs are action words they can use in their own sentences.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Before starting, play a game of charades where children act out verbs for classmates to guess. After the worksheet, ask students to use each verb in a spoken sentence, or to add a new action verb for something they did today. You can also have children draw their own action picture and trade it with a partner to name the verb.
