Start the Action Words fun by using
the first 5 flash cards with your children.
- Begin by showing the children
the word and picture and demonstrate the action yourself. they
will join in and help you to say the word in a phrase or sentence.
- Try saying the word in different
voices; happy, excited, sad or in silly voices; very high or very
low or you could even sing the word!
- Ask them to write the word on
their friends back or on their hand. (with their finger, not a
pen!)
- Next time you work with your
cards hide the picture and see if the children can remember the
word and the action.
- They can look at the picture to
see if their guess was correct.
