Nicky Noun, Victor Verb

Nicky Noun & Victor verb
Monday
10/15


Objective: To review nouns and verbs in an interesting and memorable way. The class will label human cut-outs with nouns naming body parts and verbs naming actions that can be made with those body parts.
Materials: 2 human body cutouts. One labeled “Nicky Noun” and one labeled “Victor Verb”
Model: Begin with Nicky Noun. As the class comes up with ideas of nouns, write them in the appropriate places. For instance, if a child says “nose” write the word nose on the face where the nose would be located.
Pair students to complete the activity and have students add as many nouns and verbs as they can.
Each verb should be placed in an area where it may occur. For instance, “talk, chew, and sing” would all be put where the mouth is located.
Extension: Place Nicky Noun and Victor Verb in a prominent place on the wall. Have the class write a story using nouns and verbs from the cut-outs.
