Verb Races
Age/Level: Beginner Time: 15 minutes Players: Teams of equal number

Preparation: None

Aim: To practice verb conjugations

This is a great high-energy grammar game for reviewing verb conjugations.

Procedure

Divide the class into teams of equal number. The teams should be quite large, but have no
more than seven students per team.

Each team sits in a row.

The first student in each row is number one. The second is number two, etc.

Give all number ones a piece of paper.

Pick a verb that they are studying, e.g. run.

All number ones write 'I run', and pass the paper to the student behind them.

The second student writes 'You run', and passes the paper back.

This continues until all the subject pronouns you chose to use and verb forms have been
written.

The last student passes the paper to the first student and the first student runs to the board
to write all the answers down.

The first team to get their answers on the board in the correct order and correctly conjugated
gets a point, e.g. I run, You run, He runs, She runs, They run, etc.

The students then shift places, so student number one moves to spot two and the last
student in each row becomes student number one.
