It can be difficult to feature "actions" through illustrations for learners. Here is the place where you can find or share your flashcards or activity sheets for showing different actions in English!

Hi Jason
I find the deictic verbs to be a challenge to teach since the appropriate verb can change depending on the external situation. I created this simple reference sheet for beginner to intermediate students to use to reinforce the concept. It was done with clipart so should be fine to share.

Oooh, it is really wonderful to find another teacher getting active here in this forum! I love your reference chart, and learned a new word today: "deictic".
Thanks so much - both for your comments and the additional resource you've posted!
Best wishes,

A good resource at the moment of teaching actions is th euse of mimicry. Try it out., I assure you your students will have fun and learn at the same time. I found your cards really useful for a change and a tip: there are a couple of nice colourful cards in www.englishcoach.com.ar (my favourite teacher site, by the way)
Greetings Claudia
