Abstract
The main purpose of the study is to analyze how successfully children of fifth grade in elementary school, who have just been exposed to English, notice form−meaning connections（FMCs）on verb phrases（VO−Combination）. The computer animation teaching material,“Teacher Carrot's Verbs 20”, has been developed as a tool for observing children's FMCs and towards an introduction of verbs, with which children try to guess the meaning. The results obtained suggest that the children reasonably retained the verb phrases in FMCs. However, considerable differences on FMCs could be observed among individual children. This paper reports the result of the study and also discusses the future possibility on animation teaching materials by using ICT in Elementary School English activities.
