250 Ways to Say "Went"

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Getting tired of seeing went over and over again in student writing? Banish boring verbs with a list of 250 different substitutes for that mundane word went. Organized in alphabetical order, words such as bustled, inched, and tottered are included in the list.

Instructional Ideas

  • Print the list out on large paper and post these 250 words where all can see
  • Create a handout with the resource that individuals can keep in a binder or notebook
  • When revising writing, have learners circle all uses of the word went and replace them with one of these options

Pros

  • Includes many options for young writers to consider as they compose and revise their own work

Cons

  • This will go onto two pages when you print it, so you may have to print double sided or adapt the document if you plan on making a handout
