Verb Card Game

After kindy, I also teach English to children aged from 6-12 years for 50 minute lessons. Each class has a textbook that usually briefly touches on a particular aspect of grammar, which I then try to create a game to review this learning in the future.

Recently we have been learning about past tense verbs/processes, mostly actions.
I originally intended the game to be played like Go Fish, with the students asking for the matching word (written in red on the bottom of the card).

I have also used them like a memory game and flashcards e.g students call out "walked" when I hold up the card 'walk'. I sometimes give a counter to the students who can say the correct word first and it becomes a competition.

The words I used are:
Push/pushed
Clean/cleaned
Pull/pulled
Watch/watched
Walk/walked
Jump/jumped
Play/played
Talk/talked
Laugh/laughed
Wait/waited
Cook/cooked
Kick/kicked
Climb/climbed
Wash/washed
Call/called
Hop/hopped
Skip/skipped
Cry/cried
Blow/blew
Eat/ate
See/saw
Sing/sang
Sit/Sat
Sleep/slept
Run/ran

Books for the Classroom

I have been busy making books for the classroom that reflect the learning that has been going on in our classroom. As my students are from a non-English speaking background, many books are difficult for them to read independently and so these allow for the opportunity for all of them to be successful. I made them super fast and so that I did not have to worry about binding them together. I simply made them using one piece of cardboard approximately A3 size and laminating them. The pictures are cut out of magazines.

Update 2019: Taking into consideration my journey to low waste, I would find alternative ways to protect these books. I have not laminated resources for about a year now in order to reduce the amount of plastic in my life.
