Explain that action verbs are things we do, like running or eating, while being verbs relate to states of existence. Engage the students with examples and encourage them to participate by identifying verbs in sentences you provide. Use physical activities where they act out verbs to reinforce learning. Prepare to guide them through examples and ensure they understand the difference between action and being verbs.

Start by explaining that action verbs are words that show what someone or something is doing. Give clear examples like ‘run’, ‘jump’, and ‘eat’ to illustrate the point. Encourage the students to come up with their own examples by thinking about the actions they perform daily. This will help them relate to the concept and understand it better. Make the session interactive by asking them to act out the verbs they come up with, fostering a fun and engaging learning environment.

Finding Action Verbs – Understanding action verbs – Action verbs tell us what someone or something is doing – Example sentence with action verb – ‘The cat runs across the yard.’ – ‘runs’ is what the cat is doing – Identify the action in the sentence – Ask: What is the cat doing? Answer: Running. So, ‘runs’ is the action verb! – Practice finding action verbs | This slide is aimed at helping first graders understand the concept of action verbs. Start by explaining that action verbs are words that show what someone or something is doing. Use the example sentence to illustrate this point. Ask the students to find what the cat is doing in the sentence to identify ‘runs’ as the action verb. Encourage the students to practice by finding the action verb in other sentences. Provide additional examples if needed and guide them through the process of identifying action verbs in each one.

Action Verb Hunt – Let’s go on a verb hunt! – Listen to the sentence carefully – Find the action verb in the sentence – Action verbs show what someone or something is doing – Example: ‘The dog barks loudly.’ – ‘Barks’ is the action verb because it shows what the dog is doing | This slide is designed to engage first-grade students in an interactive activity to identify action verbs. Start by explaining that action verbs are words that show what someone or something is doing. Read the sentence ‘The dog barks loudly.’ aloud to the class and ask them to listen carefully. Then, prompt them to find the action verb in the sentence. The answer is ‘barks,’ which is the word that shows the action the dog is performing. Encourage the students to clap when they hear the action verb in future sentences to make the activity more engaging. Prepare a list of simple sentences with clear action verbs for the activity. This will help students recognize and understand action verbs in a fun and interactive way.

Let’s Practice Finding Action Verbs! – Understanding action verbs – Example sentence: ‘She sings a beautiful song.’ – ‘Sings’ is what she is doing, so it’s the action verb! – Find and circle the action verb – Action verbs show what someone or something is doing – Verbs like ‘run’, ‘jump’, and ‘eat’ are all action verbs | This slide is an interactive class activity designed to help first graders identify action verbs in sentences. Start by explaining that action verbs are words that show what someone or something is doing. Then, present the example sentence and guide the students to find the action verb. In this case, ‘sings’ is the action verb because it shows what ‘she’ is doing. Encourage the students to circle the word ‘sings’ in the sentence. To reinforce the concept, you can provide additional examples of action verbs and ask the students to act them out. This will help solidify their understanding of action verbs through physical activity and engagement.

Your Turn to Find Verbs – It’s your turn to find verbs – I will give you a worksheet – A worksheet with sentences will be provided – Look for the action verbs – Action verbs are words that show what someone or something is doing – Circle the verbs in sentences – Use your pencil to circle each action verb you find | This slide is designed to engage first-grade students in an interactive activity to identify action verbs.

Remind them that an action verb tells us what the subject of the sentence is doing. Provide examples and guide them through the first few sentences if necessary. This activity will help reinforce their understanding of verbs and how they are used in sentences. After completing the worksheet, review the answers as a class to ensure understanding and clarify any confusion.
