Verb Scavenger Hunt

In this activity, students read a short passage and underline or highlight all verbs they find. They then categorize the verbs into action or linking columns. The “scavenger hunt” format makes grammar discovery interactive and engaging. This exercise promotes close reading, comprehension, and grammar recognition within real text. Students learn to identify verbs in context and apply classification skills through active analysis.
