Get to Know About Action Verbs 3 – Memory Game – Elementary Level
I recently tried out Action Verbs 3 – Memory Game for elementary learners, and it’s surprisingly addictive. The deck is filled with bright, friendly illustrations of verbs like “jump,” “swim,” and “dance,” paired with their written forms. You shuffle the cards, lay them all face down, and take turns flipping two cards at a time. When you find a matching picture and word, you keep the pair—and get a little boost of confidence every time you remember where that “climb” card was hiding.
What I love about this game is how simple the rules are, yet how it really makes you concentrate. As soon as you flip a card, your brain kicks into high gear: “Was that the one I saw earlier?” If you get a match, you have to use the verb in a sentence before you can keep it, which keeps things lively and encourages real speaking practice. If you don’t match, the card goes back face down and you try to remember for next time. It turns plain old vocabulary drilling into something you actually look forward to.
It’s amazing how much kids (and let’s be honest, adults too) enjoy testing their memory against a partner. The moment someone finally remembers where “swim” was stuck, you hear cheers—sometimes groans, but mostly laughter. Over time, you start to notice that the verbs stick in your mind more naturally than by repeating them over and over. That little thrill when you find a match really cements the word in your head.
Teachers and parents can adapt the game easily—a quick rounds tournament, timed challenges, or even cooperative play where everyone works together to clear the board. You can use it one-on-one or with a group, and it always feels fresh. Whether you’re just starting to learn action verbs or need a fun review, Action Verbs 3 – Memory Game makes vocabulary practice feel less like work and more like play.
