VERBS
(93 WORD TO PRACTICE)
About the Topic: Verbs
A verb is a word that shows an action or a state of being. Verbs are very important in English because they tell us what people do or what happens. Every sentence in English needs a verb.
For example, in the sentence “I eat an apple,” the word eat is the verb because it shows the action. In “She runs fast,” runs is the verb. Some verbs show actions (like run, jump, play), and others show states (like be, have, like).
We use verbs every day when we talk about our daily routines, our feelings, or our activities. Learning verbs helps students build complete and correct sentences in English.

Learning Outcomes

Benefits of the BoomWords Game
The BoomWords Game makes learning verbs fun and active! The teacher says the topic “verbs,” and students quickly say one verb each, such as “run,” “eat,” “sleep,” or “play.” If a student repeats a word or takes too long to think, they say “Boom!” and sit down.
This game helps students:
Remember common action words easily.
Speak faster and more confidently.
Practice pronunciation in a playful way.
Work together and listen carefully to others.
Teachers can also ask students to act out the verbs during the game — for example, pretending to run, jump, or sleep. This helps visual learners remember the words better!
Teacher’s Comment
“Students learned action verbs very well today. They practiced using them in short sentences like ‘I play football’ and ‘She reads a book.’ The BoomWords game helped students stay active and remember the words. Great energy in class!”
Student’s Comment
“I liked learning verbs because now I can make more sentences. The BoomWords game was so much fun! I said ‘run,’ ‘eat,’ and ‘sleep.’ I can talk about what I do every day.”
