It’s more fun to learn anything with a song.

Noun Song (Tune: “She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain”)

Noun House
Fold a sheet of paper in half vertically. Fold in the top corners and then fold up the bottom to look like a house. Children open the house and draw pictures, write words, or cut out pictures of things that are nouns.
       

                                      
Verbs
Verbs, verbs, action words.

T-Chart
Have children make a T-chart and write words that are nouns and verbs.

Wacky Sentences
You will need different colors of index cards or paper cut in 3” x 5” rectangles to make this game. Write nouns on one color and verbs on the other color. Mix up. Children draw a card from each pile and then make up a “wacky” sentence using the words.
                            
Hint! Use the teacher’s name, principal, or other famous people.
