Do your students need extra practice with irregular past tense verb forms? This deck contains 10 cards, each with sentences in the past tense related to a picture on the card. The students are provided with the base form of missing past tense verbs and have to complete the sentences. Each card has 3 to 5 missing past tense verbs, for a total of 28 irregular and 8 regular verbs in the activity. Because there are multiple answers to complete on each card, this deck is significantly more difficult than the other irregular past tense verb decks in my store which have one verb per card.

This sentences in this deck do not ask students to use past tense forms in the negative or interrogative. The first card lists the irregular verbs and their forms. The other cards are presented in random order each time.

Irregular verbs included in this deck: brought, bought, could, did, ate, fell, fed, found, forgot, got, went, grew, hung , had, heard, knew, left, read, said, sent, set, sat, spent, took, told, thought, woke, wore.

Other verbs include: asked, carried, decided, liked, planted, played, replied, washed.

Illustrated with photos, rather than clipart, this deck is suitable for adult English language learners as well as children as it does not look childish.

Speech With Dana says: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is one of the most useful products I have bought! This is resource is AWESOME for students who are grasping irregular past tense verbs but need more activities for generalization for using them in contexts other than just fill-in-the blank sentences in statements. This helps them to understand how to use it in a context that we use in real-life, every day situations.

melissa M says: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Love that they don't select the correct form of the verb, but have to think of it on their own!

English language learners often make the mistake of using the past tense verb form in the question instead of the base form of the verb (for e.g. "Did you looked for your book?") With 20 different verbs (all irregular past tense verbs) this deck gives students the opportunity to practice asking past tense questions correctly. It also exposes them to the irregular past tense of 20 verbs while only asking them to produce the base form, which they may already be more familiar with. "Irregular past tense verbs - answering questions (set 1)" would be a good follow up activity to this one.

This activity gives students the opportunity to listen to and then write the simple past form of 20 regular verbs. It is particularly useful practice for those students who over generalize and read aloud every -ed ending as -id (or -did!) Students listen to the recording of the sentence and decide what sound the final -ed in the verb makes: -t, -d, or -id. (Multiple choice question.) They then complete the sentence on each card in the past tense by typing the given verb.

Illustrated with photos, rather than clipart, this deck is suitable for adult English language learners as well as students from grade 2 and up as it does not look childish. It is especially good practice for English language learners, who may not know what these verb forms sound like.

There are 20 cards total with a different verb on each card.

I have a version of this activity without the audio support, and other decks in my store that focus on irregular past tense verbs, that would be a good follow up to this one.

How to Prep Your Materials

Simply print the activity pages that you want, then cut the cards apart. The worksheets are all print and go resources.

In My Classroom:

I used the hands-on activity with my 4th and 5th graders as test prep for next week's end of year state test. All 30 Students were paired up and given one sentence starter. The phrases the students needed in order to complete their sentences were placed in plastic eggs (1 phrase per egg) and scattered around our classroom. Students searched for the eggs that held the phrases they needed to complete their sentences. This part was surprisingly a little tricky for my kids. Some kids got so dang excited about building sentences but totally forgot to read the sentences to make sure they made sense. To alleviate this issue, you might want to place all 3 phrases in the same plastic egg. The activity took a bit of time due to all of the revisions we needed to make before every team found and built their correct sentence. At the end of the lesson, I created 4 new sentences for the kids to complete, so that I could be sure they understood the concept fully. ***NOTE: Completing this hands-on activity in a guided small group would allow the students a bit more flexibility with their sentences, since some of the phrases can fit in more than one sentence.

English language learners of all ages often need extra practice to learn the correct forms of irregular past tense verbs. With 20 different verbs (all irregular past tense verbs) this self-correcting Google Sheets activity gives students the opportunity to practice writing past tense verbs correctly.

Students have to correctly type the missing verb in a sentence. A photo and other sentences using the same verb in different forms prompt the students as to which verb to use. As they enter the answers correctly, a scratch card on the screen is revealed. If a student has a winning scratch card, they win a trip to your prize box (or whatever other prize you choose to offer.) Not all scratch cards will be winners.

Both you and your students will need a Google account for this engaging online activity, but you do not need any prior experience with Google Sheets.

Included in this resource:

• Teacher & student directions (although NO prior knowledge of Google Sheets is required for either!)
• One digital Google Sheet activity containing 20 self-checking illustrated questions
• A printable answer key
• A list of the base form of 40 irregular verbs with their simple past tense form
• A list of the base form of 40 irregular verbs with blanks for students to fill in the the irregular simple past tense form.

Ways to use this resource:

• Add to a “choice board”
• Use as an ELA center
• Homework assignment
• Reinforcement / extension activity
• Warm up activity

Verbs included in this deck are the same as in the similar activity in my store that asks the students to use these verbs in past tense questions but the photos and sentence prompts are different.

blow - blew break - broke buy - bought cut - cut dig - dug do - did drink - drank eat - ate fly - flew freeze - froze go - went grow - grew pay - paid put - put run - ran sink - sank slide - slid swim - swam take - took wear - wore

In this collaborative, interactive, hands-on grammar activity, students work with partners to physically build dialogue and practice punctuating it correctly. You can use this resource as a small group guided instruction activity, scoot, or independent assignment, and your young writers will be engaged and learning the whole time. Differentiating for a wide range of student abilities is easy with this resource.

Using this activity with my own 5th graders really helped me see which students were still struggling with the punctuation rules, allowing me to quickly intervene and reteach the skill as needed. My students completed all of the different activities, moving from guided instruction, to partner work, to identifying dialogue in the wild, to finally writing their own lines of dialogue. I recommend using all activities over the course of a full week.

Resource includes:

• Teacher Directions
• Dialogue Building Pieces (sentences, dialogue tags, quotation marks, commas, periods, and question marks)
• Scoot Task Cards
• Scoot worksheet
• Dialogue in the Wild worksheet
• Practice Writing Dialogue worksheet
• Scoot Answer Key

In these hands-on, interactive grammar activities, students work with partners to build and punctuate compound sentences. It also comes with a SCOOT activity. Use the activity as a whole class game, small group activity, scoot, or independent assignment, and your young writers will be engaged and learning the whole time.

3 Great Ways to Play!

Mix, Mingle, and Match: (can be played with up to 40 students or in small groups)

Each student will have one independent clause/sentence. They must find their perfect match based on the context of the sentences. Then the pairs will combine their two independent clauses together to build a compound sentence, first determining which clause will go first, then adding in the appropriate conjunction before physically adding in the punctuation marks.

Compound Sentence Scoot: (best in pairs, or trios)

• Copy the worksheets for each student (or pair of students) in your class.
• Print and cut apart the phrases that will complete each sentence on the worksheet.
• Tape the independent clause cards up around the classroom.
• Students scoot around the classroom to match each clause on the task cards to the appropriate matching sentences on the worksheets.

Complete the Sentence Activity: (independent activity)

Students will use the included worksheet to create and fill in an appropriate independent clause for each sentence given.

In My 5th Grade Classroom:

I use all three of these activities in conjunction with the correlating Grammar Bookmark. On Monday, I'll introduce the comma rule and students will use the Compound Sentence Grammar Bookmark to find an example of a compound sentence in a story we've read or a mentor text. Then Tuesday, I'll do the Mix, Mingle and Match activity. I might review the skill again on Wednesday with the Scoot activity. Thursday, we'll do the Complete the Sentence independent activity. By Friday, the kids are able to identify more compound sentences "in the wild" in a book they are reading as well as write compound sentences by themselves. This gives kids multiple opportunities to practice and master the skill throughout the week, using a gradual release teaching method.
