1.Crisscross Bingo:

Materials Required:

1.Bingo board - a grid with:
Rows - Verbs from the verb set assigned;
Columns - Subject (I/He/She/It/We/They)
2. Pair of dice –
Verbs and Subject on each

How to Play:

Step 1: A child rolls the dice

Step 2: He/She makes a sentence with the combination

Example:
Dice 1: He; Dice 2: Walk
Sentence: He walks to school

Step 3: On the bingo board, the child needs to write his/her name in the grid that corresponds to He and Stand. The first child to make a straight line (like cross and naught) is the winner.

The dices and board are available on:

2.Memory game: Cards placed face down.A child tries to match a picture with its corresponding flash card.Kids were so excited that they decided to complicate it further by shuffling the order after each chance!! So it took some time to finish the game.

After making a right pair, the child has to say the substitution chart with actions for that verb.

3."Stop!! Thats mine!": This game is played one at a time. A child is given a picture card. The remaining cards (9) are put down one after another by the moderator. The child needs to hit and say STOP when his/her picture's flash card is put down.

4. "Make your pair": Picture cards (P) should be separated from flash cards (F) and shuffled. Every child is given 1P and 1F.A child starts the game by putting down a F card.The next child, picks it up, chooses to retain, drops another/same F card.The game goes on till one manages to find his/her pair.

NOTE: The picture card should be retained throughout the game!

During all games, children were asked to make sentences with a subject(he/she/you) + verb.
