Let’s go through this step by step.

The task is to “Color the apples with verbs.” That means we need to find all the words on the apples that are verbs — action words, things you can *do*.

First, let’s remember what a verb is:
A verb is a word that shows an action or something someone or something does. For example: run, jump, eat, sleep.

Now, let’s look at each apple and decide if the word is a verb:

- jump → Yes! You can jump. ✔ Verb
- dog → No, that’s an animal (noun). ✘ Not a verb
- crow → Hmm… “crow” can be a bird (noun), but it can also mean to make a loud sound like a rooster — which is an action. In this context, since it’s listed with other action words, it’s likely meant as a verb. Let’s count it. ✔ Verb
- clap → Yes! You clap your hands. ✔ Verb
- bake → Yes! You bake cookies. ✔ Verb
- sleep → Yes! You sleep at night. ✔ Verb
- sled → This can be a noun (the thing you ride) or a verb (to ride a sled). Since it’s in a list of actions, we’ll treat it as a verb here. ✔ Verb
- book → Usually a noun (something you read). Can be a verb (“I booked a ticket”), but unlikely here. ✘ Probably not a verb for this level
- tree → Noun. ✘ Not a verb
- run → Yes! You run fast. ✔ Verb
- hug → Yes! You hug someone. ✔ Verb
- leaf → Noun (part of a tree). ✘ Not a verb
- read → Yes! You read a book. ✔ Verb
- skip → Yes! You skip rope or down the street. ✔ Verb
- van → Noun (a vehicle). ✘ Not a verb
- sky → Noun. ✘ Not a verb
- farm → Can be a noun (place) or verb (“to farm land”). Again, in this context, probably meant as a verb? But more commonly taught as a noun at this level. Let’s check others first. We’ll come back.
- Tom → Name (proper noun). ✘ Not a verb
- look → Yes! You look at something. ✔ Verb
- Dad → Name/noun. ✘ Not a verb
- drink → Yes! You drink water. ✔ Verb
- ski → Yes! You ski on snow. ✔ Verb
- bed → Noun. ✘ Not a verb

Wait — let’s double-check “farm” and “crow”.

In early elementary grammar, “crow” is often introduced as a verb when talking about roosters crowing. So yes, include it.

“Farm” — while it can be a verb, most kids learn it as a place first. Given the other clear verbs around it, and since “Tom”, “Dad”, “bed”, etc., are clearly nouns, I think “farm” is meant to be a noun here. So we’ll leave it out.

Also, “sled” — same thing. If you say “Let’s sled!” it’s a verb. So yes, include it.

So final list of verbs (words to color):

✔ jump
✔ crow
✔ clap
✔ bake
✔ sleep
✔ sled
✔ run
✔ hug
✔ read
✔ skip
✔ look
✔ drink
✔ ski

That’s 13 verbs.

Let me count again to be sure:

1. jump
2. crow
3. clap
4. bake
5. sleep
6. sled
7. run
8. hug
9. read
10. skip
11. look
12. drink
13. ski

Yes, 13.

Some might argue about “crow” or “sled”, but in standard K–2 curriculum, these are accepted as verbs in such exercises.

Final Answer:
Color the apples with these words: jump, crow, clap, bake, sleep, sled, run, hug, read, skip, look, drink, ski.
