Strategy: Matching games with past tense verbs • Student will learn the correct usage for common irregular verbs. • Practice usage through a matching game • Familiarity with reading and speaking irregular verbs.
Strategy: Matching games with past tense verbs • Our observation with past and present Asian students has shown difficulty using verbs correctly • This game can be helpful to students with different language backgrounds especially our Asian students
Demonstration • This activity was adapted from the ESL teacher’s Activity Kit by Elizabeth Clare (pgs.114-119) • Adapatations from Write Away, A Handbook for Young Writers and Learners (pgs. 280-281)
Demonstration Continued • Partner groups will be provided the memory game cards with irregular past and present verbs. • The students will take turns matching the card pairs. • When they have mastered the beginning irregular verb card pairs, they will be given the advanced irregular verb card pairs.
Proceedure • Concentration. Place the cards in rows in front of the players. Separate the cards in the two categories, past and present. Each card will be labeled past or present. • Student 1 picks up one card and turns it over in place, and says the name of the verb. He then tries to find a matching card from the other group. He turns over the card and reads the verb. And if it is a matching pair, keeps the two cards.
Procedure Continued • If it is a matching pair the player gets an extra turn. • If the cards do not match, the cards are turned over in the same place and player 2 takes his turn. • The game ends when all the pairs have been matched.
In Your Group • Sit with 4 classmates • Play the consentration game • When you have played once, use the second set of irregular verb cards
