Past and present tense: pronoun and verb sorting game

Pronoun and verb sorting game

The table below can be enlarged, printed and cut up for two different activities.

1. Use the pronoun cards in two groups as headings.  Shuffle the verb cards and put them in a pile.  As each card is turned over, players should decide which heading to place them under.  An extension of this would be to then create an oral sentence using one of the pronouns.  E.g. She helps mum with the baking. Don't let children forget the full stop.  They can say it or use an action to signal they are putting it at the end of their sentence.
2. Cut the pronoun cards individually and lay them in a semi-circle.  Shuffle the verb cards and put them in a pile.  As each card is turned over, players should choose a pronoun card to match it and create an oral sentence (remembering the full stop).
