Make grammar practice exciting with this interactive Past Tense Regular Verbs Game Show! Designed in a Jeopardy-style format, this digital activity helps students master past tense conjugation, spelling rules, and ending pronunciations while having fun competing for points. Perfect for ESL, EFL, and ELL classrooms, this no-prep resource works in both PowerPoint and Google Slides™.
Students practice forming positive, negative, and question forms with regular verbs while reinforcing tricky spelling changes like CVC doubling, verbs ending in -e, and consonant + y. They’ll also review the pronunciation of regular verb endings (-t, -d, -id) in an engaging, whole-class format.
