Create 10 strips of paper with verbs written on each one, and tape them to the wall or chalk board with an inch of space between each one. Create another 10 strips with the irregular verbs in past tense. Tape these in incorrect order next to the first column of strips. To play the game, students take turns moving the strips of paper to match up with the correct verb. After they are in the correct order, have students use the irregular verb to create a sentence.
Divide the class into groups of two or three students. Give each group a list of 100 irregular verbs, each with a space next to it. Teams have five minutes to work together to fill out the correct simple past form for each verb. At the end of five minutes, the team with the most correct answers wins.
Create 40 sentences that use a helping verb and choose four words from each sentence to be a possible answer, one of which is the helping verb. Divide the class into groups to play as a team, and tell them to choose a spokesperson and someone to keep score. Ask questions similar to the game Who Wants to be a Millionaire, with teams hearing all possible answers before choosing. Give each question an increased point value, with the first question worth one point, the second five points and so on. Teams that answer correctly earn the points. and when all questions have been asked, the team with the most points wins.
Create Bingo cards with a helping verb in each square of the card. Provide players with tokens to cover the square when it is called. To play the game, read a sentence that includes a helping verb. Players must listen for the helping verbs in the sentences, and when they hear one that's on their card, they may cover it. The winning player is the first to get Bingo by putting tokens on a full diagonal, horizontal or vertical line.
