1. Shuffle

When he walks, his feet never leave the ground. He’s shuffling.

“Shuffle” can also mean “mix” when you’re talking about cards.

2. Stagger

He’s had one zombie cocktail too many.

He’s trying to walk, but he can barely stay vertical.

“Stagger” also has another meaning.

If you have too much work to do, don’t do it all at once!

Stagger it!

Do a bit, take a break, then do a bit more.

Ways of walking quickly

3. Bolt

She was right here.

Now she’s gone.

She ran away suddenly — very suddenly.

Horses can also bolt, and there’s an idiom about it: to close the stable (“horse house”) door after the horse has bolted. It means “try to prevent a problem when it’s already too late.”

4. Skip

The birds are singing; the sun is shining!

What a beautiful day.

Makes me want to skip to work.

So I will.

“Skip” means “walk with a little jump on each foot. Like you’re made of air.”.

Must be the fastest!

Go! Go! Go!

“Sprint” means “run as fast as you can.”

As a noun, it’s also an Olympic event: the 100 m sprint.

Ways of walking with attitude

6. March

Technically, this is the word we use for soldiers all walking at the same time in the same way — to show off how organised and scary the army is.

But if you’re walking quickly in a determined way — like when you’re angry, or when you want to feel like you own the room — then you march.

“He just marched in here and stole my sandwich. I was eating it!”

7. Strut

You know those guys who walk around in an arrogant way?

That’s strutting.

Think of macho guys at the gym.

Or peacocks.

8. Swagger

“Swagger” is similar to “strut.”

It’s basically an arrogant walk, but can be a little more aggressive.

I avoid people who swagger.

Ways of walking in a limited way

9. Crawl

It’s kind of like walking — but on your knees as well as on your feet.

It’s what babies do.

10. Hop

Walking. But with only one foot. Not two.

So … kind of jumping, I guess.

Other body movements

11. Duck

Not the animal.

The act of getting down quickly because some maniac has decided to start having fun with the cannon again.

I wish he wouldn’t keep doing that.

12. Leap

Jump! But jump far!

We also have the phrase “Look before you leap.”

It means “Don’t do anything risky without thinking about it properly first.”

13. Clap

You do it when you see someone play the piano amazingly.

Or when you’ve seen someone play the piano terribly, but because they’re only four years old, you don’t want to hurt their feelings.

So you clap.

14. Punch

Take your hand.

Close it into a fist.

Then punch the bag.

Try to only punch the bag, though, yeah?

15. Shrug

I don’t know what’s happening.

I don’t know what he’s doing.

I don’t know where we are.

That’s why I’m shrugging.

Stop asking me questions.

16. Tap

This means to hit something lightly.

Right now, I’m tapping my finger on the keyboard to create these wonderful words you’re reading.

You can also tap on the window for no reason whatsoever.

Like the guy in the picture above.

17. Swipe

I tried to draw a picture of a cat swiping, but it turned out like, uh, this:

So here’s the internet fixing it for you:

Ways of moving something

18. Drop

Hold something. Then let go of it.

That’s dropping it!

If someone keeps talking about the same thing again and again and again, you can say “Drop it!”

It means “stop talking about this before I go mad.”

19. Bend

Take a metal pipe and try to break it.

Difficult, right?

You probably won’t break it.

But you might bend it — move it so that it’s not straight anymore.

Also, you can “bend the rules.” Not quite break them … but push them to their limit.

20. Flip

This means “quickly turn something over.”

Like when that gorilla flipped over your uncle’s car on safari once.

Or when you flip a coin to decide who has to tell Humphrey the bad news again.

Also, “flip out” means “go completely mad with anger.” Like Humphrey when he gets the bad news.
