Vivid Verbs Mini Set

Helping your students upgrade their verbs from “boring verbs” to “vivid verbs” can improve their written and verbal sentences tremendously.  By teaching them to use more specific verbs, they’ll be able to create images in their reader or listener’s mind.

Materials included in the mini set:

• 2 worksheets that can be used as a pre-test and a post-test to get a sample of the verbs your students use
• Vivid verbs cards and sorting pages which include:
  • 50 vivid verb cards that correspond to 10 different boring verbs
  • 10 boring verb sorting pages
  • a list of vivid verbs and their corresponding boring verbs
• Vivid verbs worksheets which include:
  • a worksheet (and answer sheet) for identifying the vivid verb from a choice of two verbs for each sentence
  • 2 worksheets (and answer sheets) for sorting/matching the vivid verbs to their boring verbs
• A page that has the student find the boring words in a story and rewrite it with vivid verbs
