Instructions

IRREGULAR VERBS

Aim: to revise irregular verbs.

Level: intermediate

Procedure:

• Explain that this a competition to be played in pairs: student A and B
• Whole class: As decide on a letter to challenge Bs.
• Bs will have one minute to write as many irregular verbs (infinitive-past-past participle) beginning with the selected letter as they can think of.
• Explain that irregular verbs will be awarded 1 or 2 points depending on the difficulty of their spelling or on their frequency at an intermediate level. Challenge students to try the difficult ones.
• Set a timer for the allotted time and when time is up, display the answers by clicking on the interactive letter.
• Student B gets 1 point or 2 points (depending on the verb) only if he has correctly spelt the verb in the past and past participle.
• Now, it 's Student B's turn

NOTE: What do As or Bs do while it's the other student's turn to compete? They can also do the challenge, but no points will be awarded!
