Wrestling with a Verb!

L.O. To substitute powerful verbs for overfamiliar verbs

Next week we're going to 'wrestle with verbs' in pairs! For homework, I want you to find powerful versions of the following verbs (You'll need to use a thesaurus to find them!)

Learn the verbs by heart - and know how to spell them, e.g. c-h-a-r-g-e

The verbs:
got
walk
run
hit
fall
break
take
move
hurt
laugh
saw
said

I'll call you out in pairs, and say one of these words, e.g. said. You'll have to reply with a powerful alternative, e.g. conversed. Make sure you know some really powerful verbs, or the audience will be chanting 'easy easy' at you!

Good luck, Big Daddy fans!

P.S. Try to think of a cool wrestling nickname, like Giant Haystacks, that makes you sound tough!



Note: Don't try this at home! You'll end up with a broken neck!

Easy-easy-easy!
