Teaching action verbs is always fun, and this game makes it even better! Students practice building Present Continuous (Present Progressive) sentences by matching each sentence to the correct picture. This engaging dominoes activity combines grammar practice with vocabulary reinforcement, making it perfect for your action verb unit, ESL/EFL classrooms, and literacy centers.
Why Use Dominoes for Grammar Practice?
Dominoes are a hands-on, interactive format that keeps students engaged and motivated to learn. As they work to match sentences and pictures, students naturally practice reading comprehension, speaking, and sentence construction. The game format encourages collaboration and discussion, helping learners internalize both action verb vocabulary and Present Continuous grammar.
