Rap the verbs
Play a verb rap and have kids do each action as they hear it: jump, clap, spin. Then ask, "What were all those words?" Verbs! Moving to the words makes "action word" mean something.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).
