What kids do
“A verb tells when something happens. Read the bold verb. Circle Past, Present or Future.”
Printed on the sheet:
- Yesterday we played tag.
- Tomorrow I will visit Grandma.
- The cat sleeps on the rug.
- Last night it snowed .
- Next week we will go to the zoo.
- My brother reads comics.
- We baked bread on Sunday.

Teacher tip
Draw a timeline on the board: yesterday, today, tomorrow. Point to it as you read each sentence.
How to use it
- Review the part of speech with three quick examples on the board first.
- Act out verbs and adverbs, and hold up objects for nouns and adjectives.
- Keep a word wall or a word bank in reach so spelling does not stop the ideas.
Watch for
Kids sorting by meaning instead of job in the sentence. Ask what the word is doing.
Talk about it
- How did you decide which kind of word it was?
- Which sentence on your sheet are you proudest of? Why?
