Spot On! Action Verbs

Build a vibrant vocabulary with instant-feedback fun!

Empower your younger learners with the Spot On! Action Verbs deck, a dynamic and interactive tool designed to transform vocabulary building into an engaging game. By combining high-quality photography with the instant-feedback technology of the Spot On! Pen (sold separately), this resource helps students master 100 essential verbs through visual association and positive reinforcement.

Interactive vocabulary made simple and fun!

Action words are the engine of language. This deck makes it easy for students to recognize, understand, and label common actions by connecting real-world imagery with the excitement of “getting it right.” The immediate green light and positive audio cues from the pen provide the confidence boost young learners need to explore new words independently.

Covers a wide range of vocabulary targets:

• 100 Target Verbs: A robust collection of high-utility action words used in daily life.

• Photo-Based Learning: Every card features real-life photography, helping students bridge the gap between abstract words and concrete actions.

• Double-Sided Design: 50 cards provide a total of 100 unique activities to keep learning sessions fresh and varied.

• Multisensory Feedback: Visual (green/red lights) and auditory (sound effects/phrases) responses cater to diverse learning styles.

Targets key language goals:

• Verb Recognition: Identifying and labeling basic actions correctly.

• Receptive Vocabulary: Strengthening the ability to “find” an action when prompted.

• Expressive Expansion: Encouraging students to use the verbs in their own sentences and stories.

• Independent Problem-Solving: The self-correcting pen allows students to learn from mistakes and try again without frustration.

How to Use:

1. The Set-Up: Place a card in front of the student and name the target verb (e.g., “Find who is jumping“).

2. The Investigation: Have the student look at the photographs and select the one that matches the action.

3. The Spot On! Moment: Touch the Spot On! Pen (sold separately) to the dot.

   • Green Light: “Spot on!” You found the jumping!

   • Red Light: Not quite—let’s look at the pictures again. Who is moving up and down?

4. The Extension: Once they find the action, ask them, “Can you jump like the person in the picture?” or “What else can jump?” to deepen the concept.
