Go FISH or Have You Got? Game Part II of III
This is part II of III. The first part said "Part 1 of 2" but the pictures on this set were larger so I had to split it into three parts. Please be sure to download all three parts. 72 cards, 18 animals, 4 cards each animal. Go Fish game, with instructions included. Lots of fun. Great way to finish off a group lesson with elementary school kids.

Who Wants to Be A Millionaire Verb Tense Review
I prepared this for my students today and it worked well. Increasingly difficult beginning with present simple and ending with future perfect, so intermediate level.

Present Simple Verb Tense, Third Person Singular and Daily Routines
A power point where the students have to decide whether to put an "s" on the end of the present simple tense verb. A bit of a formative in-class assessment to reinforce use of the "s" for 3rd person singular. You can edit and add other slides by copying the format, but I eliminated slides to keep th...

Jeopardy Game Verb Tense Review
I have used this on my adult students and they really appreciate it. All tenses. The answers are in MC format so students don�t have to formulate the answer.

Endangered Animals Jeopardy
This jeopardy game MUST be resaved as Macros enabled. I save it here as ppt, but it must be resaved as ppm (macro enable). You can find it in the drop down menu when you go to save it.
