Introduction
This past simple board game helps students to utilize their knowledge of the past simple to talk about a variety of everyday topics.
Procedure
Explain that the students are going to play a board game where they have to talk about various topics for 30 seconds using the past simple tense.
Divide the students into groups of three or four.
Give each group a copy of the game board, a dice and counters.
Have one student keep the time in each group.
Students place their counters on the start square.
Students then take it in turns to roll the dice and move their counter along the board.
When a student lands on a square, they talk about the topic on the square in the past simple tense for 30 seconds without stopping.
If a student can't think of anything to say, makes a grammar mistake, or stops talking before the 30 seconds are up, they go back two squares.
The first student to reach the finish wins the game.
