Your next great Lessn starts here.

Welcome to Action Verbs! – Greet our little explorers – Today’s focus: Action verbs – Understanding verbs – Verbs are doing words like ‘run’, ‘jump’, ‘eat’ – Verbs show us actions – Like ‘clap’ in ‘She claps her hands’ or ‘sit’ in ‘They sit on the chair’ | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-k students to the concept of action verbs in a fun and engaging way. Start the class with a warm and enthusiastic greeting to capture the children’s attention. Explain that verbs are special words used to describe actions things that we can do. Use simple and familiar actions as examples, such as ‘run’, ‘jump’, and ‘eat’, and incorporate physical demonstrations if possible. Encourage the children to perform some simple actions as you name them to help solidify their understanding. Prepare to have images or props for visual aid in the following slides to further illustrate action verbs in a context they can relate to.

Action Time with Verbs! – Verbs show actions – Like ‘clap’ when we clap our hands – Examples: ‘run’, ‘jump’, ‘eat’ – ‘Run’ when we move fast, ‘jump’ when we leap up – Verbs build sentences – We use verbs to tell what we or things do – Let’s find verbs in pictures! | This slide introduces the concept of verbs to Pre-k students. Verbs are action words that tell us what someone or something is doing. Use physical actions like clapping, running, and jumping to help children connect the words to real-life actions. Explain that verbs are essential for creating sentences because they give us important information about what is happening. Encourage the children to think of actions they do every day and what words they would use to describe those actions. For the interactive part of the lesson, show pictures and ask the children to find and name the action happening in each one.

Finding Action Verbs in Pictures – Action verbs show us actions – Verbs like ‘run’, ‘jump’, ‘eat’ – Action verbs are in stories – Pictures can show action verbs – A picture of someone running shows the verb ‘run’ – Let’s find verbs in pictures! – We’ll look at pictures and choose the action happening | This slide is aimed at helping Pre-k students understand the concept of action verbs through visual aids. Begin by explaining that action verbs are words that show what someone or something is doing. Emphasize that these verbs can be found in the stories they read or hear. Use pictures as a fun and interactive way to identify action verbs, such as showing a picture of a person running and linking it to the verb ‘run’. Encourage the children to participate by asking them to describe what action they see in each picture. This activity will help them associate verbs with corresponding actions, enhancing their vocabulary and comprehension skills.

Match the Action Verb to the Picture – See pictures and find the verbs – Match ‘sleep’ to a picture of sleeping – Like matching a puzzle piece! – Consider what each picture is doing – Is the person jumping, running, eating? – Have fun pairing them up! | This slide is for a class activity where students will practice identifying action verbs by matching them to the appropriate pictures. Show a variety of pictures depicting different actions. Encourage the children to observe each picture and discuss what the person or animal is doing. This will help them connect the visual action with the verbal description. For example, if there’s a picture of a child sleeping, the students should match it to the verb ‘sleep’. Make sure to have a diverse set of actions represented in the pictures to cover a range of verbs. The activity should be interactive and enjoyable, allowing the children to learn through play. Possible activities include a matching game with cards, a drawing exercise where they draw lines to connect pictures to words, or a group activity where they act out the verbs for others to guess.

Practice Time: Action Verb Hunt! – Look at the picture I show you – Think about the action you see – Actions like ‘jump’, ‘eat’, ‘run’ – Tell me the action verb – Let’s find the verbs together! | This slide is for an interactive class activity designed to help Pre-k students understand and identify action verbs. Display a series of pictures that depict various actions. After showing each picture, prompt the students to think about what action is happening in the picture and then to say the action verb out loud. For example, if the picture shows someone running, the students should shout ‘run!’. This activity will help reinforce their understanding of action verbs through visual aids and active participation. Make sure to praise their efforts and correct gently if they make mistakes. You can use pictures of common activities such as eating, sleeping, jumping, and playing to make it relatable and easy for them to guess.

Class Activity: Action Verb Hunt – Let’s hunt for action verbs! – Search for pictures in our room – Look at pictures on walls, shelves, or desks – Match pictures to action verbs – Think: What is the person or animal doing? – Share your findings with the class | This activity is designed to engage Pre-k students in identifying action verbs through a fun and interactive scavenger hunt. Set up the classroom with various pictures that depict different actions. Guide the students to walk around the room and observe each picture closely. Encourage them to describe what the person or animal in the picture is doing using an action verb. For example, if there’s a picture of a girl running, the action verb is ‘running.’ Once they find a match, they can share the action verb they’ve identified with the rest of the class. This will help reinforce their understanding of action verbs in a memorable way. Possible variations of the activity could include matching verb cards to pictures, acting out the verbs found, or drawing their own action pictures.

Super Verbs Explorers! – Celebrating our verb quest – Verbs show us the action – Verbs are like ‘run’, ‘jump’, ‘eat’ – they show what someone or something is doing! – Practice verbs every day – At home, look for actions like ‘brushing’ teeth or ‘hugging’ your teddy bear. – Share your verb adventures – Next time, tell us what action verbs you found at home! | This slide wraps up the lesson on action verbs, reinforcing the concept that verbs are action words. Praise the students for their efforts in identifying action verbs in pictures. Remind them that verbs are everywhere, not just in the classroom, and encourage them to observe and practice using verbs at home. Suggest that they take note of the actions they or their family members do, like ‘cooking’, ‘cleaning’, or ‘playing’. This will help them understand and remember that verbs are a part of everyday language. Prepare to listen to their experiences in the next class to make learning continuous and engaging.
