List of action and motion words

You slouch when you stand with a slightly drooping posture, with your shoulders forward and your stomach sticking out.

A sneeze is a sudden explosion of air from your nose and mouth. You usually sneeze if something tickles the inside of your nose, or if you have a cold. It is a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze, like the man in the picture. A lot of mucous can come out when you sneeze and can travel a long way. If you are sick, you can make other people sick by sneezing near them.

Something is spinning if it is moving around and around a central point. Windmills spin, so do spinning tops. If you throw a ball the right way, it will spin as it flies. Skaters and ballerinas sometimes spin while they are performing. Spinning is also a way to turn raw materials like sheep's wool and cotton into fibers suitable for making into cloth.

You stab something when you quickly thrust something sharp into something else. The man in the picture is stabbing a cake with a knife.

You stand up when you have only your feet touching the ground, and you are upright and vertical.
