Action Words & Body Parts Level 0

Introduction

Learning action words and body parts is an exciting way to explore language and our bodies! In this article, we will match action words like ‘kick’ and ‘wave’ to the body parts that perform these actions. This is not only fun but also helps us understand how we move and communicate.

Definition and Concept

Action words, also known as verbs, describe what a person does. Body parts are the different segments of our bodies that allow us to perform these actions. For example, when we say ‘kick,’ we are referring to the action done by our ‘foot.’
