Unleash the power of vivid verbs with this collection of posters. They can be printed in color or black and white to display in the classroom or as inserts for student notebooks. You can even use them as teaching materials during guided writing groups. These posters will be resources that your students will turn to over and over again! 

These posters will give your students other words for went, laughed, got, put, cried, said, saw, ran, walked, and more!
