Let’s go step by step to fill in each sentence with the correct verb from the word bank:

Word bank:
sitting, chases, pick, eat, mixes, came, walk, told, looks, reads

---

1) The cat ________ the mouse.
→ Cats chase mice. So: chases

2) The painter ________ the colors.
→ Painters mix colors. So: mixes

3) The children ________ to the park.
→ Children often walk to places like parks. “Walk” fits. So: walk

4) The slide ________ slippery.
→ We say something “looks” slippery if it appears that way. So: looks

5) The teacher ________ the class a story.
→ Teachers tell stories. So: told

6) Mom ________ the kids to ________ up their toys.
→ First blank: Mom tells or asks kids → but “told” is already used? Wait — let’s check word bank again.
Actually, “pick” is there — “pick up” is a phrase meaning to collect.
So: Mom told the kids to pick up their toys.
But wait — we already used “told” in #5? Let’s hold on — maybe we can reuse? No, usually these worksheets use each word once. Let’s list all words and assign carefully.

Wait — let’s reassign logically without repeating unless allowed. But the instruction says “choose from these verbs” — doesn’t say “use each only once”. But typically in such worksheets, you use each once. Let’s assume one-to-one matching.

List of 8 sentences, 10 words — so two extra words. That means not all will be used.

Let’s try again with unique assignments where possible.

Sentence 1: The cat ___ the mouse → chases (only logical choice)

Sentence 2: The painter ___ the colors → mixes (only logical)

Sentence 3: The children ___ to the park → walk (makes sense; “came” could also work, but “walk” is more active for going to park)

Sentence 4: The slide ___ slippery → looks (common expression)

Sentence 5: The teacher ___ the class a story → told (standard)

Sentence 6: Mom ___ the kids to ___ up their toys →
First blank: needs a verb like “told”, “asked” — but “told” is taken. What else? “Pick” is for second blank.
Wait — perhaps “Mom told” is okay even if used before? But let’s see if another word fits first blank.

Looking at word bank: sitting, chases, pick, eat, mixes, came, walk, told, looks, reads

“Came” doesn’t fit first blank. “Reads”? No. “Eat”? No. “Sitting”? No.

Perhaps “Mom told” is acceptable even if repeated? But let’s check sentence 7 and 8.

Sentence 7: My friend ___ to my house after school → came (perfect fit)

Sentence 8: Cathy and Emily ___ apple pie while ___ at the table →
First blank: they are eating → eat
Second blank: while sitting → sitting

Now back to sentence 6: Mom ___ the kids to ___ up their toys.

We have left: pick, and maybe told? But told was used in #5.

Wait — what if we swap?

What if sentence 5 uses “reads”? “The teacher reads the class a story” — that also works!

Then sentence 6 can use “told”: Mom told the kids to pick up their toys.

That avoids repetition.

Let’s test that:

Revised plan:

1) chases
2) mixes
3) walk
4) looks
5) reads (teacher reads a story — yes, common)
6) told ... pick
7) came
8) eat ... sitting

Check word usage:

Used: chases, mixes, walk, looks, reads, told, pick, came, eat, sitting → that’s 10 words, but we have 8 sentences with 9 blanks? Wait no:

Sentence 6 has two blanks → total blanks = 9? Let’s count:

1) 1 blank
2) 1
3) 1
4) 1
5) 1
6) 2 blanks
7) 1
8) 2 blanks

Total: 1+1+1+1+1+2+1+2 = 10 blanks. And 10 words in bank. Perfect — one per blank.

So assign uniquely.

Final assignment:

1) chases
2) mixes
3) walk
4) looks
5) reads
6) told, pick
7) came
8) eat, sitting

All words used exactly once.

Double-check grammar and logic:

1) The cat chases the mouse.
2) The painter mixes the colors.
3) The children walk to the park.
4) The slide looks slippery.
5) The teacher reads the class a story. (also “tells” would be better, but “reads” is acceptable — e.g., reading aloud)
6) Mom told the kids to pick up their toys.
7) My friend came to my house after school.
8) Cathy and Emily eat apple pie while sitting at the table.

Perfect.

──────────────────────────────────────

Final Answer:
1) chases
2) mixes
3) walk
4) looks
5) reads
6) told, pick
7) came
8) eat, sitting
