We've taken the stunning visuals from NPR’s iconic short film, “Words,” and turned them into an interactive quiz. Watch the images closely and see if you can name the correct verb collocations before the answer appears on screen.
We’re covering high-frequency verbs that are essential for fluency, including:
💨 Blow (blow out, blow away, blow a trumpet)
💔 Break (break a leg, break free, break up)
⚡ Split (split up, split in half)
🍂 Fall (fall apart, fall in love, fall down)
🔥 Light (light a fire, light up)
🏃♂️ Run (run a race, run away, run a business)
...and many more!
This activity is perfect for:
✔️ English language teachers looking for a dynamic warm-up or review activity.
✔️ ESL/EFL students who want to move beyond textbook learning and understand natural, contextual English.
✔️ Visual learners who connect words to images.
💬 How many did you get right? Let us know in the comments! Which verb was the trickiest?
🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for more vocabulary challenges, idiom lessons, and grammar tips designed for the modern English classroom.
📚 Classroom Tip:
Pause the video after each image and have students write down their answers in pairs before revealing the collocation. This is a great way to encourage communication and peer learning.
