This easy first grade worksheet pairs handwriting with action word recognition, asking children to trace verbs like jump, run, kick, swim, clap, and sing along dotted lines before reading them inside short sentences.

Students then fill in blanks for sentences such as 'The dog can ___ fast' and 'I like to ___ in the pool,' and finish by deciding whether words like run, blue, and jump count as verbs. The blend of motor practice and meaning work helps young readers cement the link between the letters they form and the actions those words name.
