A Game to share
Posted by learnmore on May 5th, 2008
This game might be applicable to your teaching english. You can use this game for testing your students knowledge in Irregular Verbs. This activity can be done by a class of 10-20 students. The equipment you need are a marker, a song, and a tape.
How to play:
Ask student A to pass a marker to student B, student B passes it to student C, etc. When they relay it from one student to others, at the same time of when the relay starts, the teacher also plays a song from the tape. After it goes on for about half a minute, the teacher pauses/stops the song. The student who holds the marker at the time the song stops must complete a verb’s past tense and past participle. They can chose the verbs alphabetically. So, if the first student may chose , for example Awake-Awoke-Awaken, the next Begin, Began , Begun, etc.
Students who are able to complete the assigned verbs successfully may be paid compliments (you can write their names on the board pretended as “Board of Fames” or give them candies which they can enjoy after the class, perhaps ?)
Good luck !

Instead of “musical chairs” this is “musical verbs”. Interesting! I’m sure you could adapt it to any type of question, couldn’t you?
