Resources on Vivacious Verbs for Second Graders
Verbs bring action and motion to otherwise stagnant phrases. There are some key grammar tips to remember surrounding verbs including subject-verb agreement, irregular verb forms, past and present tenses, and other strange rules. Teachers can search the variety of second grade verb resources in the Learning Library.
There is a hands-on activity, Write Silly Sentences to Master Verb Tense, that does exactly what the title suggests. The teacher writes a variety of verbs and nouns on strips of paper, then students form sentences based on the strips they draw out of a paper bag. The Back in the Day lesson plan is a way for students to share a story about their past and practice past-tense verbs (especially the confusing irregular past-tense verbs that don't end in –ed).
There are online games, such as Nouns and Verbs Sort and Parts of Speech Sorting, that acquaint students with components of sentences that need organizing. There are also many printable worksheets and a selection of printable workbooks to support second grade students in their verb practice.
