VERBS & TENSES practised in a FLEXIBLE CARD GAME

– a fun activity to practice the different VERBS & TENSES


ONE GAME – MANY VERBS & TENSES:

 

The cards are very flexible:  using VERBS allows for TENSE PRACTICE during the game. Depending on the level of the students you can ask:

 

Have you got “go swimming?”

Yes, I have.

 

Are you “going swimming?”

Yes, I am.

 

Do you “go swimming” everyday?

Yes, I do.

 

Did you “go swimming” yesterday?

Yes, I did.

 

Have you ever “gone swimming” in the ocean?

Yes, I have.

 

Will you “go swimming” with your friends?

Yes, I will.

 

Do you like “going swimming” in lakes?

Yes, I do. 

 

… and so on…


For those who don’t know how to play HAPPY FAMILIES:

  1. Deal out the cards face down to all the players (in groups of min 3-5) 
  2. Look at the cards and put similar sets together according to their verbs.
  3. The object of the game is to collect a set, a family. The first word is your card so you have to ask for the other three.
  4. Ask your partner:  Have you got “go swimming?”
  5. Yes, I have. – The player passes the card and the winning player asks another person.
  6. No, I haven’t. – The player who replied no asks another person.

The winner is the player to have the most ‘families’.
