Verb Tenses Trashketball Review Game

Help your students review verb tenses (simple present, simple past, simple future, present perfect, past perfect, or future perfect) in this engaging Trashketball game! All that you need is the ability to project a PowerPoint presentation, a soft ball, dark tape, and a trash can.

In this game, there are four rounds. In the first three rounds, which progress in difficulty, students identify the underlined verb tense. In round four, they identify the verbs and their tenses.

Research shows that students often learn best when they can move, and this activity motivates students further by tapping into their love of sports. Using heterogeneous groups to play a game with friendly competition is an excellent way to meet the needs of all of your students, especially English language learners, and reward them for their success.

This activity makes excellent guided practice after instruction on verb tenses. The game can be followed with independent practice for deeper understanding.

-concept review

-game rules for students

-game play
