Verbs In

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a fill-in-the-blank activity that focuses on personification, where students must complete sentences with verbs that personify the subject. Each sentence includes an inanimate object or a non-human element that students need to bring to life by using a verb typically associated with human action. The worksheet provides nine sentences, each starting with a noun, followed by a blank space where the verb indicating personification should be written. Illustrations accompanying some sentences serve as visual cues to inspire the students’ choice of verbs.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to apply personification by associating human actions with non-human nouns. It encourages creative thinking, as students must choose verbs that animate objects in a way that makes sense within the context of each sentence. This activity helps students understand how personification can add depth and emotion to writing, making descriptions more vivid and engaging. By completing this exercise, students practice using figurative language effectively, enhancing their writing skills and their ability to analyze literary devices.
