This lesson uses games and physical activity to teach 48 action verbs to students. It begins with an introduction where students will read and match verbs. Then they are split into groups and act out verbs, with the winning table getting the most correct. Two board games are then played, one on just saying verbs and another combining verbs with "can" and "can't." The lesson ends with students unscrambling and finding verbs in a word search. The goal is to motivate the students to speak in English throughout the interactive activities.
