Instructions: print on cardstock and laminate. Cut cards apart. Show child how to place the title cards on a rug or table,
then figure out which card goes beneath each title card.

There are many verb tenses; I chose three of the most common ones for this exercise. I also chose a mixture of regular
verbs (jumps/jumped/jump) and irregular (freezes/froze/freeze) so that the child would get experience with each.
