Title - Linking Verbs
By - Veronica Falzone
Primary Subject - Language Arts
Secondary Subjects - Music
Grade Level - 6-8

Using a song is a quick way to teach students linking verbs. Sometimes I have the students create their own "linking verb" song by having them fit the most common linking verbs into a familiar tune.

When short on time, I teach them this song instead. Sing it to the tune of "London Bridge is Falling Down"
