This challenging verbs worksheet pushes kindergartners beyond simple identification with multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions about action words and tense. Children pick the verb from word sets like book, tall, pour, soft, find that kicks is the verb in The boy kicks the ball, and learn that stirred tells about the past while pours and digs do not.

The fill-in section asks kindergartners to spot tossed in She tossed the coin, lifts in He lifts the heavy box, and mix in We mix the paint together, and to recognize that -ing verbs tell what is happening now. This sheet stretches early readers toward first-grade tense work with carefully scaffolded sentences.
