Sorting Activity

Today we would like you to start thinking about which words are verbs and which words are nouns. 

 

Here are the 2 characters who help us remember these words:

Naomi Noun likes naming things. Veronica Verb likes doing things.

 

Nouns are naming words, like tree, grandma and peach. 

Verbs are actions/doing words, like run, cut and laugh.

 

Can you sort the following words into verbs and nouns (some may be both!):

carpet       jump       fire       apple       sleep       talk       petal       run       chuck       stick       tap       slipper       glass       wipe

 

Can you add 3 more nouns and verbs of your own?
