Importance of action verbs in kindergarten

Verbs, or action verbs, are the building blocks of language. They give sentences life by generating vivid narratives and images. Learning action words will help kindergarten students communicate their ideas, emotions, and experiences more clearly. This will help them grow their vocabulary as well. These words, from the most basic “run” to the most imaginative “create,” open the doors to storytelling, imaginative play, and comprehension of their surroundings.
