Year 2 Synonyms for ‘Went’ Worksheets – 3 Differentiated Levels with Answers
🚶 Help children replace ‘went’ with more precise and interesting vocabulary!
This engaging Year 2 English resource encourages pupils to explore synonyms for the commonly used word ‘went’. Children collect alternative verbs, select words that suit different situations and improve sentences by choosing more descriptive vocabulary.
The resource includes three differentiated worksheet levels, allowing pupils to work with an appropriate amount of support while developing confidence in vocabulary and sentence writing.
📚 What Is Included?
• 3 differentiated pupil worksheets

• 6 A4 pages in total

🔤 Vocabulary Featured
The supplied word bank contains:
walked, ran, skipped, hopped, crept, rushed, wandered, marched, tiptoed, dashed, strolled, crawled, climbed, jogged and hurried
Pupils consider how these verbs can replace ‘went’ and choose vocabulary that fits clues such as moving quietly, quickly, happily, proudly or on one foot.
🎯 Skills Covered
• Recognising and generating synonyms
• Expanding vocabulary
• Replacing overused words
• Selecting verbs that suit a sentence’s meaning
• Using contextual clues
• Improving sentences with more precise word choices
• Writing original sentences
• Applying vocabulary independently
📈 Differentiated Learning Progression
🔺 Triangle – Supported Level
Children choose eight synonyms from a supplied 15-word word bank. They then improve 11 sentences by selecting suitable alternatives to ‘went’. The word bank and contextual sentence clues provide additional scaffolding.
⭕ Circle – Developing Level
Children choose eight synonyms using the word bank while also being encouraged to think of their own words. They improve seven sentences and then write two original sentences using skipped and wandered.
⬜ Square – Independent Level
Children generate eight alternatives to ‘went’ without a supplied word bank. They improve seven sentences and independently write four sentences using skipped, wandered, dashed and marched.
This progression moves pupils from supported vocabulary selection towards independent word generation and sentence construction.
