Teachers’ Instructions (1/2)
Verb Cards
make a list of four questions. When
finished, each student takes the list and
asks two other students in the class.
(They’ll need to keep a memo of the
answers.) Then, they return to their
original partner and report their findings.
Activity #3: (Whole Class) The teacher
draws two Verb Cards and reads them.
The fist student who can make a
complete sentence with both of the verbs
is awarded a point.
1. Student ability: Beginner ~ High Intermediate
2. Approximate length of lesson: Varies
3. Number of students necessary: Varies
4. Preferred age/maturity: JHS, HS, College, Adult
5. Type of lesson: Varies
*****
Language Target: Working with verbs and
various grammar patterns.
Activity #1: (Groups) Divide the class into
groups of four and deal out six cards to
each student. The remainder of the cards
are placed face-down on the table. One
student begins by asking any other
student in his/her group a question using
any one of the six verb cards in his/her
hand.
The student determines which tense
to use. The answer must use the same
verb and the same verb tense as the
question. If the response is correct, the
play continues with another round of
question and answer. If the response isn’t
accurate, the student draws a new verb
card from the stack. The object of the
game is to be the first one to run out of
cards.
Activity #2: (Pairs) Give each pair of
students four verb cards. Together, they

Activity #4: (Groups) One student draws a
Verb Card and another rolls a die. If the
number on the die is 1 or 2, the student
makes a statement using the selected verb
in the Present Tense, if the number on the
die is 3 or 4, the student makes a
statement using Past Tense, if the number
on the die is 5 or 6, the student makes a
statement using Future Tense.
Activity #5: (Whole Class – Two Teams)
Divide the class into two teams, Team A
and Team B. Give each team half of the
verb cards, and place them face down.
One of the students from Team A draws
a Verb Card and asks one of the students
from Team B a question.
The student must answer the
question using the same verb and same
verb tense. If the answer is incorrect,
Team A get a point. Continue alternating
between teams until all of the Verb Cards
have been used.
Activity #6: (Groups – Verbs with
propositions) In groups of three, Student
A draws a Verb Card and makes a
statement prefaced with the proposition:
Before. For example, Before I came to
school today, I ate breakfast. Student B
draws a verb Card and makes a statement
with the proposition After. For example,
After I saw the movie, I went to a coffee
shop. Student C puts both sentences

together into a compound sentence, i.e.,
Before Becky came to school today, she
ate breakfast and after Gregory saw the
movie, he went to a coffee shop.
Activity #7: (Whole Class) Simple drill, the
teacher draws one Verb Card and reads
the Present Tense verb as printed. The
class as a whole recites all three forms.
For example, the teacher reads: fly. The
students say fly, flew, flown. This works
well to set a timer and see how quickly
the class can go through all of the verbs.
Activity #8: (Pairs or Small Groups) Hand
out six or seven Verb Cards to each
group. Together the create a short story
using all of the verbs in Present Tense.
Then, students exchange their stories
with another group and rewrite the new
story into Past Tense.
Activity #9: (Whole Class) The teacher
draws a Verb Card and asks a Have you
ever… ? question; Have you ever slept
on a train? Have you ever forgotten
your wallet? Students answer the
question and the teacher asks a follow up
question, When did you sleep on a train?
When did you forget your wallet?
Activity #10: (Small Groups) In groups of
four or five, students have a stack of
Verb Cards and a stack of Time Cards
from Prism 9. All cards are face down. A
student draws a Verb Card and a Time
Card and makes a sentence using both;
for example, On my 11th birthday, I
caught a bad cold and had to go to the
doctor. This could also be done in the
question format where another student in
the group must answer.
