ABSTRACT
The games below should help you draw out from the children that a verb is a doing word that shows what someone or something is, has or does: It is hot today. He has a dog. She walks to school. Verbs are like the engine of a sentence – they get things going. The activities help children understand that often several words form a verb phrase: is leaving, was running, were waiting etc and that verbs can be altered to show the time when the action took place. I run (present tense); I ran (past tense) etc.
