Action Verbs Worksheet: Identify and Color Verbs in the Picture
This worksheet asks 3-5 year olds to look closely at a busy picture and decide which action verbs are actually happening in it versus which ones aren't shown at all, using a color code (green for present, red for absent) to record their answer. That distinction — is this action really happening in the picture, or just a word I know? — pushes your child to observe carefully rather than simply recognize verb vocabulary in isolation.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the picture together first and talk generally about what's happening in it. Read each verb option aloud and ask your child to scan the picture specifically for that action. If they find it happening in the picture, have them color that verb green; if they don't see it, have them color it red. Work through each verb this way, checking together that the color choice matches what's actually shown in the picture.
