In this exciting group activity, students practice making statements using the past tense of irregular verbs. Before class, make one copy of the number cards and one copy of the irregular verbs worksheet for each group of three to four students. Cut the number cards as indicated. Procedure Divide the class into groups of 3 or 4. Give each group a set of cut up number cards and an irregular verbs worksheet. Tell the students to shuffle the cards really well and place them face down in a pile on the table. Ask the students to place the irregular verbs worksheet next to the pile of cards. Explain that one student picks up a number card from the top of the pile, e.g. Number 1 and looks at the verb in that square on the worksheet. In this case the verb is keep. He or she must then make a sentence using the verb in the past tense, e.g. He kept his money in a safe. The other students in the group decide whether they will accept the sentence or not. If they do, the verb is crossed out and the student’s name is written in the box under the verb. If the sentence is not accepted, the card is put at the bottom of the pile. Play then continues with the next student. The student with the highest number of squares at the end of the game is the winner.
