Practice for Irregular verbs in the Simple Past for adults
 
Hi, everyone! My students (adults) have just  learnt the past simple with irregular verbs. I need them practice the use of irregular verbs in the Simple Past. The class is oriented to oral communication. Any ideas I can apply with my students? Thanks a lot for your ideas in advance! :)

I print questions such as:
�What did you eat yesterday? �
�Where did you go last summer? �

Then I cut them up. I put them in a hat and ask random Ss to pick out a question and ask it to someone that they choose in the class.

Just an idea.

A good idea is to play NOUGHTS AND CROSSES. Here is the procedure ( in case you are not familiar with it):
- Divide the class into two groups, one is the X and the other is the O. 
- Draw a nine square table and put a number in each square( from 1 to 9). 
- Prepare some envelopes containing the infinitive of the verbs you want them to practice( an envelope for each square). 
- Ask a students from the X team to choose a number. Then he/she picks up o verb from the corresponding envelope and either says its past simple form or makes up a sentence with that verb in the past simple.( it�s up to you to decide what you want them to do, but you have to decide before starting the game so that you can explain them the rules of the game)
-The same procedure is applied with team O. 
-The game goes on until all the squares have been used , or until one of the teams manages to get a row of two X/ O.
