Play "Alligator". This is a good game for reinforcing verbs. Choose one person to be "It". "It" thinks of a verb. The rest of the players then ask questions to figure out the verb. Their questions, and "It's" answers use the word "Alligator" in place of the verb. For example, if "It" chooses the verb "eat", the game might go like this...

Player: Can I alligator?
It: Yes, you can alligator.
Player: Will I alligator today?
It: Yes, you will alligator today.
Player: Can an alligator alligator?
It: Yes, an alligator can alligator.
Player: Can I alligator a cat?
It: I don't think you'd want to alligator a cat.
Player: Are there more than four letters in the word alligator?
It: No, there are not more than four letters in the word alligator.

Questioning goes on like this until players start to figure out what the verb is. They should not say it, though, because they'll have fun, knowing what the verb is, listening to the questions of those who haven't yet figured out the verb, and to It's answers. When it's clear that most players know the verb, ask one of the Players to tell what they think the verb is. If they get it wrong, keep asking players until one of them gets it right. Then choose someone else to be "It".

Variation: Instead of "alligator", you can use any silly name or phrase.
