PANTHERS - APRIL 2015

You are possibly working on was/were and this is a very good moment for the children to make a book about themselves (whether or not for Sant Jordi). Here is a great idea.

or if you want to practise the Past Simple you have this reading text about Saint George and the Dragon, which you can download on the wiki at

Past Simple Memory Game
If you want to practise the past simple and encourage your students to learn which verbs are regular, which are not, and what the irregular form is, then go to the wiki at http://bcnprimary.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder&param=MEMORY%20GAME
and you will find the templates to set up a game of "Memory"
You will have to do the following

1. Print the infinitives of the Irregular and the Regular verbs onto the same colour card and cut out i.e. blue
2. Print the Irregular past forms onto a second colour card and cut out. i.e.. red
3. Print the Regular past forms onto a third colour card and cut out. i.e.. green

To Play - Each group of students (groups should be between 2 and 4 students) is given a complete set of cards.

1. All cards are placed face down
2. Student 1 picks up a blue card, which has an infinitive written. 
3. The student must decide if the verb is regular or irregular and pick up a card (red or green) according to what they think. They must pick up the past form as the same verb of which they have picked up the infinitive form. If they do not do this they must replace both cards face down with the other cards. If they do choose the correct card, they keep both the infinitive and the past form cards.
