If you’re not happy with any of the games above, you can always create your own. A game for kids that I enjoyed a lot and played more than once 🙂 You’ll need to answer correctly all the questions to see the teacher being eaten by the sharks (don’t worry, there’s no blood!). A great timed activity to review irregular verbs while reinforcing their spelling.Ī fun activity where the teacher is presented as an animated character on a pirate ship about to be eaten by sharks. You get 1 point for every correct answer plus a bonus 10 points for every verb you get 100% correct.įrom, the always entertaining hangman game in this case, with irregular verbs. In this game you have 2 minutes to answer questions related to the verb forms of the irregular verbs displayed in the wheel. It is especially useful for teaching ESL intermediate learning and teaching.Īn enjoyable game where irregular verbs are chosen at random from a spinning wheel. Dear Lucas, this post is for you!!! Jeopardy Quiz Gameįun activity to teach action verbs in the irregular past simple tense. Hard to believe me? Then, try these games and I bet you’ll be delighted next time you are asked to study them. My son Lucas was complaining he was going to have a permanent crick in his neck from spending hourrrrrs (or words to that effect) trying to learn irregular verbs in English when it occurred to me there might be plenty of sites on the Internet to help students, and my own son in this case, with this seemingly daunting task.Īnd just as I predicted there are some cool sites that offer a nice alternative to the traditional pen-and-paper method of learning irregular verbs. NOTE: What do As or Bs do while it’s the other student’s turn to compete? They can also do the challenge, but no points will be awarded!

I have created the game below using the cool interactive freemium tool Genial.ly (proud to say I am an ambassador of this great tool developed in Spain) For more information about my workshops on how to use free online tools effectively in your class, have a look hereor here using technology effectively and meaningfully in my classes.
So, playing and learning, a big YES just playing, a huge NO.
And this is something I don’t do in my classes. Otherwise, you are just playing or entertaining students. You have to plan exactly what you want to do and how you want to do it if you want the activity to be effective. Just because you use the latest tools does not mean students are going to learn more or better. I have always believed that using technology in the classrooms has a lot of benefits for the students- this is probably not the post to enumerate them- but also, I firmly believe that technology without methodology does nothing for the student. Technically, they have learned the irregular verbs sometime between A2 and B1 but you and I know that irregular verbs are like a pain in the neck to learn only compared to studying phrasal verbs. I know, I know!! I am teaching B2, but trust me, they need the revision.
