Jump, hop, run: verbs are action!
Kindergartners learn that a verb is an action word, something you can do. Run, jump, eat, sleep and read are all verbs! They practice finding verbs in pictures and sentences, acting them out and using them when they talk and write. They also play with verb opposites like push / pull and open / close. The click moment is when a child points at a picture and says, "She is swimming! That's the verb!"
Verbs are made for moving. These moves get kids up and doing.
Hold up an action verb card and have everyone act it out: hop, wiggle, swim! Then ask, "What are you doing?" so they answer in a sentence. Moving their bodies helps them feel what a verb is.
Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).

Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Tell them a verb is an action word, something you can do. Ask them to show you a verb, like jump or clap, and they will get it right away.
Start with everyday actions they can act out: run, jump, walk, eat, sleep, sit, read and play. Add a few more each week.
Play "Simon Says" with action words, or ask your child what everyone in the house is doing. Reading picture books and naming the actions works great too.
Yes. Kindergartners learn to identify and use common verbs in speaking and writing. They do not need grammar terms beyond "action word," but many love learning the word verb.
