StoryCards Verbs

 Use this pack to develop children's understanding of basic verbs. It features four stories:


The Hungry Frog (Rana the Frog): is, sit, jump, swim, fall, climb, see

Muddy All Over (Pongo the Hippo): like, say, go, wash, smell, pull, push

Eric Sings All Night (Eric the Sheep): sing, love, come, find, look at/for, sleep

Hip, Hip, Hooray (Oz the Ostrich): run, walk, play, kick, eat, drink, stand
Each verb is repeated several times in various situations to reinforce the child's understanding of its meaning. Finger puppets of the four central characters are excellent for 'doing' the actions in the stories, and the line illustrations on the reverse of each card provide a colouring activity for the child.

As the child's understanding of the concept increases, expression using the verbs can be encouraged. This pack can also be used to develop understanding of other concepts, including adjectives, opposites, prepositions and comparatives/superlatives, alongside the verbs.
