Irregular verbs

Dear colleagues,

I �ve had serious difficulties with my 13 year old students learning (memorizing)irregular verbs. Any games you can suggest?Thanks for your help

Well, what I did was,

First, select the most used verbs according to the topics you �re studying.

Second, I asked my students to take pictures of themselves representing the verbs you selected before (this, they loved)

Finally, we watched Titanic (it was a quite long process, but it was worth) and while they watched they had to answer severral questions.

- This movie they really liked it because it is kind of romantic... you know they �re teenagers -

If I remember somethign else I �ll write you. Wink

You can always play bingo or dominoes but what I find most useful is to organize the list by types of irregularity. For example I group together the ones which take -ought for past and participle, or the ones which change vowels i-a-u like swim-swam-swum. I �ll send you my list with different colours for different types in case you find it useful.
