Give out sets of cards and set the children the following tasks

Singular Plural Sort

• Can the children sort the cards into two groups - singular and plural?

 Partner person cards

• Can the children find the person partners e,g 1st person singular/plural partners or 3rd person singular person partners? 

Verb pattern galleries.

• Ask the children to organsie the cards in to patterns for themselves
• Ask the children to write labels that describe the grammar patterns they have created and set these lables to one side away from the patterns of cards.
• Children should then invite other class members to come and look at the patterns and decide which label matches which pattern.
• Can the children create their own " verb galleries" in their books, with heart patterns, key target language parts of the verb and labels to explain the grammar pattern?
