The Verb Game
You will need: kitchen timer
Again, this game should only take 5-10 minutes daily. Explain to your child that
many verbs may be acted out. Do not drag this game out. Take turns with your
child acting out verbs. One will pantamime the verb while the other needs to
guess it. (e.g., eating, sleeping, snoring tended to be a great hit around here as
well as burping, barking, walking, running, etc.). Take turns miming various
verbs.
