Divide group into two teams.
Divide story into two sections and assign one section to each team.
Give each team ten cards.
Each person will pick one verb from their section and write it on the card.
Shuffle cards from both teams and place them face down.
Have each team roll dice to see who goes first.
The “acting” team takes a card. One member of the team pantomimes the verb.
To ensure that each student gets a turn, we will go in a clockwise rotation starting with the oldest person.
The “guessing” team tries to guess the verb being mimed.
Team members write their guesses on a paper that the other team checks.
When the guessing team has guessed the word correctly or has made five wrong guesses, the teams switch roles.

Closure:

Ask your kids what a verb is again and call on a few of the kids to give examples of verbs not used in the story.
