Instructions

1. Collect cute, brightly-colored action pictures depicting action words, such as
run, clap, sit, dance, skate, stand, and so on.
2. Print the action word, in small print, under each action picture.
3. Glue the pictures to the inside of a file folder.
4. Now make word cards for each action word depicted by a picture. Print the
words in large print.
5. Glue the words to colored card stock sized to cover the pictures on the file
folder (approximately 2" x 2 1/2 ").
6. Laminate the file folder and the word cards for durability.
7. To play, each player selects one side of the folder as her game board.
8. Place the action word cards face down on the playing surface.
9. Then each player, in turn, selects a card with one of the action words. She
reads the word aloud and places it on her game board covering the action
picture.
10. If she does not have the picture on her side, she discards the word card.
11. Continue until one player has covered her side completely.
