One activity for teaching verbs is called “Verb Charades.” Here’s how it works:

  1. Divide the class into two teams.
  2. Write down a list of verbs on small pieces of paper and put them in a hat or bowl.
  3. One student from Team A comes up to the front of the class and picks a verb from the hat without showing it to anyone.
  4. The student then acts out the verb without speaking, using gestures and body movements to convey the meaning of the verb.
  5. The rest of Team A has one minute to guess the verb. They can shout out their guesses or write them down on a piece of paper.
  6. If Team A guesses the verb correctly within one minute, they earn a point. If they don’t guess it correctly, Team B has a chance to steal the point by guessing the verb correctly.
  7. Repeat the process with a student from Team B picking a verb and acting it out for their team to guess.
  8. Continue playing until all the verbs have been used or until a certain number of points is reached.

This activity not only helps students practice identifying and understanding verbs, but it also encourages creativity, teamwork, and communication skills.
