Naming Words and Action Words Worksheet

Lesson Overview

About this worksheet

Once a child can name a person, a place, or a thing, and can name what someone is doing, the next step is telling the two apart. That distinction is what every later grammar lesson stands on.

Section A gives five pictures and a two-word bank. Section B is a cut-and-paste sort with four tiles for each box, so the counts cannot be used to guess, and the tiles arrive shuffled.

The answer key on page three names every picture beside its kind of word, and lists the four tiles that belong in each box.

How to Use This Lesson

Print the worksheet. The word bank is in the box on page one.

Ask students to say each picture out loud before they write.

For Section B, cut the tiles apart along the dashed lines first.

Check the answers against page three.
