Let’s Talk Action: Engaging Verbs Worksheet for Class 1 Students

Verbs are what bring energy into our language—and this Class 1 worksheet is built to help young learners recognize, relate to, and remember action words in a fun and interactive way. Through riddles, matching, puzzles, and drawing activities, children will discover how verbs describe everyday movement and expression.

Why Action Words Are a Must-Learn for Grade 1 Kids

4. When children learn that “run,” “draw,” and “hug” are more than just actions—they're powerful words—they begin building the foundations for writing and communication.
