Session 27

Session Plan 90 Min

Intro Activity 

1. Introduction (15 minutes)

Discussion:

Ask:

"Can you tell me something you do every day?" (e.g., eating, running, jumping)

"What do you do when you are happy? What about when you are tired?"

Explain: Action verbs are words that tell us what we do! (e.g., jump, run, clap, eat, dance).

Show flashcards with pictures of different actions and say the words together.

Main Topic/ Activity

Activity 1: Action Verb Movement (15 minutes)

Objective: Learn action verbs through physical activity.

Call out action verbs one by one and ask children to act them out (e.g., "Jump!", "Run!", "Clap!").

Take turns acting out verbs while others guess the action.

Use flashcards and ask:

"What action is this?"

"Can you show me how to do it?"

Activity 2: Story Time with Action Verbs (15 minutes)

Objective: Reinforce action verbs through a fun story.

Read a short story with action words (e.g., "Tommy runs to school. Tommy jumps in the park. Tommy eats his lunch.").

Ask children to act out the actions while listening.

Stop and ask:

"What did Tommy do?"

"Can you show me how Tommy runs?"

Activity 3: Action Verb Song (15 minutes)

Objective: Learn action verbs through music and movement.

Teach a song with action words (e.g., "If You're Happy and You Know It" or "Walking, Walking").

Encourage children to sing and do the actions (e.g., "Clap your hands! Stomp your feet!").

Activity 4: Drawing Action Verbs (15 minutes)

Objective: Encourage creativity through action words.

Give children paper and crayons.

Ask them to draw themselves doing an action (e.g., running, dancing, playing).

Have them share their drawings and say:

"I am running!"

"I am jumping!"
