Welcome to this English lesson where I'm going to help you learn over 50 English action verbs, and I'm going to try and make them really easy to remember by acting them all out.

Well hey, welcome to this English lesson, where I'm going to help you learn some English action verbs that we do with our bodies.

Before we get started though, if this is your first time here, don't forget to click that red subscribe button and give me a thumbs up if this video helps you learn just a little bit more English.

When you go to bed at night, you close your eyes so that you can fall asleep.

In the morning when you wake up, you open your eyes so that you can see.

I'm not sure exactly how many times and you don't even need to think about it.

If someone does something you don't like, you might stare at them.

That means you just keep looking at them directly for a long time and of course there's a couple other things.

You can cover your eyes, or you might tell a child to cover their eyes so they don't see something that they're not supposed to

And if you like someone, you might wink at them.

I can do it with this eye, but I have trouble doing it with that eye.

So you might be wondering is there anything you can do with your whole head.

If you agree with someone, you can nod, and if you disagree with someone, you can shake your head.

A nod, or to nod means yes, and if you shake your head, it means no.

So what kind of actions can you do with your nose?

Well, little kids and adults sometimes will pick their nose.

They'll put their finger in their nose, I'm not actually doing it by the way and they'll pick their nose.

Sometimes when you are not feeling well, you need to blow your nose.

I'm not actually gonna do it because I don't need to.

And if you're sick, you will sometime sneeze.

Maybe before you plug your nose, you sniff, and you smell something that doesn't smell very good.

And if you're good at it, you can wiggle your nose.

Hi, let's talk a little bit about the mouth.

There are a lot of things that you can do with the mouth.

Obviously you can talk and you can speak with your mouth.

And you can also whistle like I was just doing.

That's about as much singing as you're probably gonna hear from me.

So if you wanna talk really quietly to someone, you might whisper to them.

Another thing you might do with your mouth is hum.

Maybe you don't like to sing and you don't like to whistle.

Another thing you might do with your mouth is kiss.

I'm not going to kiss Jen right now, but I'll demonstrate using my hand.

So you can also use your mouth to give someone a kiss.

Obviously when you're eating food, you're going to use your mouth to chew.

And if you're not feeling well, you will probably cough.

We used to cover our mouth when we coughed, we used to go, but now we're supposed to cough into our elbow.

And of course, how could I forget. When you have an ice cream cone, you can lick the ice cream.

If you are somewhere really loud, you might plug your ears or you might cover your ears.

Those are two things you can do if you're somewhere where it's really loud.

When I was a kid, my grandmother used to pull on my ears when I was bad.

And the last thing you can do is if you are having trouble hearing someone, you can cup your ear.

So when you cup your ear with your hand, it makes it easier to hear somebody.

So let's talk a little bit about the hands.

There are a few things you can do with your hands that aren't very nice.

That's when you grab their skin like this.

It's not very nice when you do this, but you can pinch someone.

You can poke someone if you have a question, you can say, "Excuse me, sir, I have a question."

It's not very nice to punch someone, but if you watch a boxing match, you will see them punch each other.

I did this in my video last week when I was pretending there was a mosquito on me.

In the winter in Canada, sometimes the doors to our vehicles freeze shut and you need to yank on the door to get it open.

That means you need to pull really hard on it.

You have to tug on the door to get it open.

When you pull on something, you're trying to make it come towards you when you pull it.

When you push on something, you're trying to make it go away from you.

I remember when I was a little kid, my dad taught me how to snap my fingers.

When you snap your fingers, it makes a really cool sound.

We can also use our fingers to flick things.

So if a mosquito landed on me I could flick it away.

So if I wanted you to go over there, I could point over there to let you know which way to go.

And we also use our fingers to make really bad gestures, but I'm not going to show you which gesture I'm making here, because it's not a very nice one.

Speaking of mosquitoes, if there were mosquitoes flying around me right now, I could swat them.

When you do this with your hands, you are swatting.

We also, when we really like a performance, we'll clap.

It's always nice to clap your hands when someone does a good job playing music, or performing in a play.

The other thing we use our hands for is we used to shake hands with people, but now we actually bump elbows.

Shaking hands is no longer considered to be a good thing to do because it spreads disease.

When you see someone, you know, you sometimes wave to them.
