Use these free puzzle strips as posters or a sorting activity for verb
tense. For the activity, keep the first strip intact and let the students
use it as a guide so that they will order their cards in the same order
as the titles on the strip:
Past Tense  Past Participle  Present Tense  Present Participle  Future Tense
The strips are already placed in order as they are printed here.
Here’s another activity:
If you are just introducing your students to the topic, it would be a practical idea
to first group the past tense and the past participle cards as one category called
‘Past’. Group the present Tense and the present participle as Present. And the
future tense cards can be in its own group ‘Future’. Now each group can be
examined and further separated e.g. look at
these two ‘Past Cards’ on the left. Ask the
students to spot the differences. Do this with
other ‘Past cards’. This will help them to learn
that one card has ‘Past Tense’ verbs and the
other has ‘Past Participle’. This method can
also be used with the ‘Present’ cards.
