Match the Verb: Action Verbs Worksheet for Preschoolers
Action verbs are some of the first 'doing words' children learn to recognize in print, and this worksheet asks children ages 3-5 to spot the verb within a simple sentence and connect it to a picture showing that action. Circling the verb first trains children to identify the part of a sentence that describes an action, an early grammar skill, while matching it to a picture reinforces comprehension of the word's meaning. This combination builds both reading and vocabulary skills using content — running, jumping, eating — that's naturally engaging to young children.

How to use this worksheet
Read each sentence aloud together and ask your child to listen for the word that describes an action. Have them circle that action verb within the sentence. Look at the pictures provided and ask your child to draw a line connecting each circled verb to the picture that shows that action happening. Repeat this process for every sentence on the page, reading each one aloud once more when finished.
