How to use these Action Verbs flashcards
-
Vocabulary introduction: Present each card, model the
action, and have students repeat the verb in a full
sentence — "I can run", "She can swim."
-
TPR activities: Students mime each action as you hold
up the card — great for kinesthetic learners and
younger children.
-
Action races: Place cards face down, students flip a
card and perform the action before the next student.
-
Speaking and dialogues: Pair work — "Can you swim?"
"Yes, I can swim!" or "What is she doing?" "She is
jumping."
-
Grammar focus: Present continuous (He is running),
can/can't for ability, and action verb collocations
(kick a ball, ride a bike).
-
Writing practice: Students write sentences using each
verb, copy the word, or complete gap-fill activities.
-
Games: Memory matching, charades, Go Fish with verb
prompts, and action bingo.
