Asking for Help!!!!

Hi everybody!!! I need some help from the creative �eslprintables � teachers!!! I have a class with a student whom I �ve had for many years. We have conversation classes, so I choose a topic and we talk as he gets new vocabulary. The thing is that he needs to revise some grammar stuff. So for next class I �ve prepared a lesson to revise the simple past with regular and irregular verbs. I have a jar with small cards with infinitive verbs. What do you suggest? I was thinking about making him pick up cards and make sentences in the past using the verbs he gets. What other activities do you suggest to do with my �verb jar �? Thank you for always being there!!! Looking forward to hearing your creative ideas!!!

If they are sort of intermediateish, you can have some small pictures prepared in another jar (if you like the jar idea) and ask them to produce a story. The pictures should be somewhat thematically linked (e.g. fairy tale theme: princess, dragon, frog, castle, witch, forest etc or space/alien theme: space ship, alien, planet, earth, meeting etc.). Let them come with something non-stereotypical and surprising. Similar sets of pictures were - if I remember correcly - in Intermediate Communication Games by Nelson, I should have it out there somewhere, send me a pm with your email and I �ll forward it to you if you think it would be helpful. That way they could practice both speaking and past tenses  |
