Encourage the child to repeat the words aloud and act out the verbs to deepen understanding. Use the cards in small groups or one-on-one sessions to maintain attention. Incorporate storytelling by asking children to create simple sentences using the verbs, helping them connect vocabulary to real-life actions. Regular review sessions reinforce memory and boost confidence in using new words.
