Action Word Coloring Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Read the action word under the first teddy bear aloud together — for example, 'walk.' Ask your child whether that word matches an instruction they were given to color or skip. If it's a match, let them color that bear in; if not, have them leave it blank and move to the next one. Work down the row of bears this way, checking after each one that the coloring decision matches the word underneath.
