3 Once upon a Square

This activity aims to have students make past simple affirmative and negative sentences with past time
expressions and practise changing regular/irregular verbs into their past simple forms.
Materials and Preparation
Copy the game board on page 152 and make sure that each group in the class has one. Each group
should have a dice, and each student should have one counter or something equivalent to move across
the board.
Procedure
1 Divide students into groups of three or four and give a copy of the game board and a dice to each
group. Make sure that all group members have a counter (or something equivalent) of their own.
Tell students that they need to roll the dice and move their counter along the board in turns.
2 Inform students about the following rules of the game:
• Once a student lands on a square, s/he is supposed to make a past simple affirmative or negative
sentence with the time expression and verb phrases given in the squares.
• If s/he cannot make a correct sentence, s/he needs to go back to his/her previous square.
• The first person that can reach the finish square becomes the winner.
3 Monitor while walking around the classroom and help when necessary. You do not have to wait for
each group to have a winner; you can stop the activity after an appropriate length of time.
