Irregular Verb Conjugation Relay
Objective: Practice and reinforce your understanding of advanced irregular verb conjugations in a fun, competitive setting.
Instructions:
- Preparation: You will be divided into teams. Each team will stand in a line, with a whiteboard or a piece of paper at the front.
- Task: The first person in each team will receive an infinitive form of an advanced irregular verb (e.g., “swim,” “tear,” “forbid”). Your job is to run to the whiteboard, write the past simple and past participle forms of the verb, and then pass the marker to the next person in line. The next player will do the same with a new verb.
- Class Activity: Continue the relay until all team members have had a turn. After the relay, the whole class will review the answers together to ensure accuracy.
- Gamification Element: Each correct verb conjugation earns your team points. The team with the most correct answers at the end of the relay wins “Krugs,” which you can accumulate for rewards or class privileges.
Example Verbs:
- Infinitive: “Swim”
- Past Simple: “Swam”
- Past Participle: “Swum”
Irregular Verb Crossword Puzzle Challenge
Objective: Improve your recall of advanced irregular verbs by solving crossword puzzles that focus on their past simple and past participle forms.
Instructions:
- Preparation: You will receive a crossword puzzle where the clues are the infinitive forms of advanced irregular verbs.
- Task: Work individually or in pairs to complete the crossword by filling in the correct past simple or past participle forms of the verbs based on the clues provided.
- Class Activity: Once the crossword is completed, compare your answers with another pair or group to check for accuracy. Discuss any challenging verbs as a class.
- Gamification Element: Completing the crossword puzzle correctly and within a set time limit earns you “Krugs.” Additional “Krugs” can be awarded for being the first to finish or for the accuracy of your answers. These “Krugs” can be collected for future class rewards.
Example Clues:
- Clue: “Take” (Infinitive)
- Answer: “Taken” (Past Participle)
Irregular Verb Memory Card Game
Objective: Enhance your memory and recognition of advanced irregular verbs by matching verb forms in a card game.
Instructions:
- Preparation: You will receive a set of cards, each containing one form of an advanced irregular verb (infinitive, past simple, or past participle). The cards are shuffled and placed face down on a table.
- Task: In small groups, take turns flipping over two cards at a time to find matching pairs of irregular verb forms (e.g., infinitive with past simple, past simple with past participle). If you find a matching pair, you keep the cards and take another turn. If not, flip the cards back over, and the next player takes their turn.
- Class Activity: Continue playing until all pairs have been found. After the game, each group will present a few of their matched pairs to the class, explaining the verb forms.
- Gamification Element: Each correct pair you find earns you “Krugs.” The player or group with the most “Krugs” at the end of the game wins a reward, such as extra points in the next class or a special class privilege.
Example Pairs:
- Card 1: “Begin” (Infinitive)
- Card 2: “Began” (Past Simple)
- Card 3: “Begun” (Past Participle)
