Do your students struggle with irregular past tense verbs or the tricky regular past tense verb ending pronunciations (-t, -d, -id)? These domino-style games are the perfect solution for helping learners memorize verb forms, improve pronunciation, and practice sentence building. Great for small groups, ESL and EFL classrooms, and grammar review sessions.
This resource includes two complete domino games. In the first, students match the present tense to the past tense of irregular verbs. In the second, they connect regular verbs to their correct pronunciation endings. For an added challenge, ask students to use the verb on their domino in a complete sentence. It’s an engaging way to combine listening, speaking, and grammar practice.
