Fun game to practice present simple, present continuous, past simple, past continuous, have got, has got, to be and present perfect. This is my go-to game when I need to drill some grammar into my students. It's by far the most efficient grammar game. I love it because it's no prep, just PRINT AND GO. And my students love it because it doesn't feel like learning when, in fact, they do a TON of learning. We can easily spend the whole lesson playing battleship and they want to keep on playing even after the bell rings.

It's also a great activity for substitute lessons or when I'm in a time press.

How to play:

• It can be played in pairs or in small teams
• Hide your ships in the left field. They mustn't touch.
• Try to hit the enemy ships in the right field.
• If your enemy hits your ship, indicate that in the left field. If you hit your enemy's ship, mark it down in the right field. If you miss, mark it down as well. If you hit your enemy's ship, have another go.
• To win, sink all of your enemy's ships before he sinks yours.

Contains:

• detailed instructions
• 17 battleship sheets at various different difficulty levels focused of drilling affirmative and negative sentences and questions
• each sheet contains simplified instructions

Battleship - Present Perfect FREEBIE

A fun drill activity to teach 30 irregular verbs. FUN AND DRILL IN ONE SENTENCE??!! She is crazy, you may think. Well, I kid you not, but kids (and grown-ups) actually really love it. Their joy when they finally work it out is real.

It's LOW PREP and very easy to set up. Simply cut up the puzzle pieces and let your pupils put them back together. The resulting shape is that of a hexagon. Students need to match the infinitive with the correct picture. The picture rhymes with the past simple and past participle form. It can be quite challenging so it's best used as a team activity. You can even turn it into a competition. Just print out a few copies and see which team completes the puzzle first. It's also great as an extra activity for those of your students who always finish first.

I use this puzzle in my EFL classes but I'm sure it would also work great in speech therapy sessions.

PRO TIP: They should start by picking a verb. They look for the rhyme while CHANTING the 3 forms of the verb. They do one verb at a time until they complete the whole puzzle.

Irregular verbs used in this material and their rhymes:

1. All three forms of the verb are the same

put - foot

set - vet

cut - nut

hit - sit

hurt - shirt

2. The 2nd and 3rd forms are the same

win - 1

get - hot

sit - cat

hear - bird

read - bread

make - afraid

feel -belt

keep - step +t

mean - tent

build - hill +t

smell - belt

fight - astronaut

have - sad

stick - duck

hold - bell +d

leave - theft

catch - astronaut

say - bread

sell - cold

stand - wood

dig - slug

lose - boss +t

find - ground

3. The 2nd and 3rd forms are different but similar

speak - coke (+n)

steal - bowl (+n)
