Identify Practice Activities
Printable Class 2 grammar worksheets that help children identify verbs as action or doing words in sentences and simple contexts.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Class 2 verb identification worksheets help children recognise verbs as words that show actions, happenings, and what someone or something does. Learners practise spotting verbs in short sentences, choosing the correct doing word, and connecting verbs with the person, animal, or object performing the action.
The printable activities include clear sentence-based exercises, picture-supported practice, circling and underlining tasks, and simple word choices. They are designed for Grammar and Writing practice, helping children build confidence before they move on to using verbs accurately in their own sentences.
In this Identify section, children focus on finding verbs rather than writing long answers. They learn that words such as run, eat, read, jump, sleep, and write tell what a noun is doing. Some activities may also include everyday classroom and home actions, so children can connect grammar with familiar experiences.
Skill progression
The practice usually begins with easy action words in short sentences, such as “The dog barks” or “Riya draws a flower.” Children then move to sentences where more than one word may look important, and they must decide which word shows the action. This builds the habit of asking, “What is happening?” or “What is the person, animal, or thing doing?”
Parent routine at home
Sit with your child and read one sentence aloud. Ask them to point to the naming word first, then act out or explain the doing word. For example, in “The boy kicks the ball,” ask, “Who is the sentence about?” and “What does he do?” After the worksheet, play a quick verb hunt: say three words, such as table, dance, pencil, and let your child clap when they hear the verb.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for morning grammar practice, small-group reinforcement, or independent work after a lesson on verbs. They also work well in literacy centres: one group can underline verbs, another can match pictures to action words, and a third can read sentences aloud and identify the verb orally before writing.
Common errors to watch for
Many Class 2 children confuse nouns and verbs when both are familiar words. In “The cat drinks milk,” they may pick cat or milk because those are easy to see. Some children also choose describing words instead of actions. Encourage them to test each word by asking, “Can someone do this?” If the answer is yes, it is likely to be the verb.

Why iBloom worksheets help
iBloom worksheets keep the focus narrow: identify the verb first, then build accuracy step by step. The mix of circling, underlining, choosing, and picture-linked tasks prevents guessing and supports different learners. A child-friendly strategy is: “Find who or what the sentence is about, then find what they do.” This simple routine makes verb identification easier and prepares children for writing clearer sentences.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does my child practise in these Class 2 verb identification worksheets?
Your child practises finding verbs, or doing words, in simple sentences and contexts. The focus is on recognising the action or happening word rather than writing long sentences.
Are these worksheets suitable after learning about nouns?
Yes. Children who know naming words can use that understanding to find the noun first, then identify what the noun is doing. This makes the difference between nouns and verbs clearer.
What types of activities are included?
The worksheets may include circling verbs, underlining action words, choosing the correct verb, matching pictures with actions, and identifying verbs in short sentences.
How can I help if my child keeps choosing the noun instead of the verb?
Ask two questions: “Who or what is the sentence about?” and “What is that person, animal, or thing doing?” This helps the child separate the naming word from the action word.
Can teachers use these worksheets for revision?
Yes. They are useful for quick grammar revision, small-group practice, literacy centres, homework, or reinforcement after teaching verbs as action or doing words.
