About this worksheet

Noun and Verb Picture Sort gives kindergarten students a focused page for a skill that parents and teachers often need as its own printable worksheet. This adds a picture-supported grammar page that keeps to the words naming word and doing word, which is how kindergarten teachers introduce nouns and verbs. Kindergarten grammar should stay oral and visual rather than definition-heavy. The items rotate through several question types so the page is not just the same prompt with different numbers or words. Students find the picture that shows a doing word among pictures of things, and sometimes find the thing you can hold among doing pictures.

Support versions keep the reading load, numbers, or choices friendlier while preserving the same thinking. Standard versions match everyday classroom practice. Challenge versions add a closer distractor, an extra reasoning step, or less familiar examples. Before answering, students should say what the question is asking, point to the evidence, and check that the answer fits the exact skill named in the title.

What your child will learn

  • Tell naming words (things) from doing words (actions)
  • Use picture clues
  • Spot a doing word in a picture

Common Core standard: L.K.1

Worked example

A dog is a thing, so dog is a naming word. A picture of a child who is sleeping shows a doing word: sleep.

Common mistake

Choosing a picture of a thing because it is familiar, instead of the picture where someone is doing something.

Helpful hint

A doing word tells what someone does. Look for the picture where someone is doing something.
