A fun and engaging lif-size game to learn action verbs. It requires a giant foam or cartboard dice and some tape. You can use all the cards, only the ones your students know, or add your own.
Print and cut out the cards. Lay them on the floor in any shape you like (spiral, line, square, etc.) and tape them down so they don’t slip and cause accidents. 
Students take turns rolling a die (a giant foam die is ideal, or you can make a large cardboard die). The student moves forward the same number of spaces as shown on the die. When they land on a card, they must read the action out loud and mime it. (If students cannot read, the teacher reads the card for them). If they do the action correctly, they stay on that card. If they make a mistake, they move back the same number of spaces they rolled. TIP: Encourage other students to help check if the action is correct! The first student to reach the end with an exact roll wins! 
NOTE:
This game can be easily adapted for higher levels. Instead of just reading the action, students can make short sentences to practise the present simple or present continuous.
For example:
•	Monkeys climb on trees.
•	The cat is sleeping on the sofa.
