							| 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  |  10 Apr 2017
