To leave this mysterious island, you must walk across the beach and find the boat, but this
beach has areas of quicksand! You must follow the path of past tense verbs to avoid the
quicksand.
Draw a path from one past tense verb to the next. You can go vertically, horizontally, or
diagonally.
Be careful! Many past tense verbs are spelled just like present tense with “ed” on the end, but
some have special spellings. The past tense of “walk” is “walked”, but the past tense of “catch”
is NOT “catched”. It’s “caught”.

Is quicksand real?
Yes! Quicksand can be found near beaches,
ponds, and marshes. It is usually a combination
of sand, clay, and salt water. Unlike in books
and movies, however, a person could not sink
all the way into quicksand. A person would only
sink about waist-deep.
