Rikki-Tikki Colorful Verbs

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Study and practice the vocabulary in Rudyard Kipling's famous story "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi." Pupils underline verbs in a passage from the story, taking special note of vivid or precise verbs. They then write original sentences for five vocabulary words from the text. A relatively quick exercise, this resource would work well as a homework assignment or warm-up activity.
