Irregular Verb Games for the classroom.

Teacher-led irregular-verb drills. You paste go, went, gone and the rest of this week’s stems, the class joins from tablets, and the projector shows the board. Six dictionaries, no student accounts, and a per-student tier so mixed tenses still play together.

Six classroom games for irregular verbs

Six games for the verbs that refuse a tidy -ed: three forms, past-tense spotting, and a story that has to swallow them in order. The ones that need no device say so on their own row. The rest run in the browser from a six-character code, with no student accounts.

1
Three-Form Snap
Setup:
Cards in threes: go / went / gone, each form on its own card, shuffled into one pile.
How to play:
Players take turns flipping a card. When someone sees all three forms of the same verb on the table, they slap the pile and say the three forms in order. A false slap skips a turn.
On LexiClash:
No device needed. A shuffled pile of three-form cards and a table is the whole kit.
- Time: 10 min
- Group: Groups of 3–4
- Drills: Principal parts
2
Past-Tense Grid
Setup:
Load a letter grid and tell the class only past-tense forms score this round.
How to play:
Students find past-tense verbs on the shared grid. Present forms are called out but do not score. After two minutes, write three finds on the board and name the present form beside each.
On LexiClash:
Classic mode, with the past-tense-only rule said before the join code goes up so nobody farms present forms.
- Time: 5–8 min
- Group: Whole class
- Drills: Past-tense recognition
3
Irregular Climb
Setup:
Split this week’s irregulars into three tiers: common, less common, rare.
How to play:
Every student works the same three-form drill on their own tier. Move someone up when they finish early; move them down without comment when they stall.
On LexiClash:
The Warm-Up practice mode runs the list at the tier set for each student, so one drill covers the spread.
- Time: 8–10 min
- Group: Solo, same room
- Drills: The right set of irregulars
4
Story in Past
Setup:
Write eight irregular past forms in a column on the board.
How to play:
Going around the room, each student adds one sentence to a shared story and must use the next past form from the column. If they use the present by accident, the next student repairs it and continues.
On LexiClash:
No device needed. Eight past forms on the board and a story that has to swallow them in order.
- Time: 10 min
- Group: Whole class
- Drills: Past forms in connected speech
5
Tense Dice
Setup:
A cube with present, past, and past participle on three faces, and this week’s eight irregulars on the board.
How to play:
A student rolls, lands on a form, and has to say that form of the next verb. The class confirms or repairs, then the cube passes. Ten rolls and you stop.
On LexiClash:
The Matching practice mode pairs each present with its past from your list, which is the cube’s job when you have no cube in the cupboard.
- Time: 8 min
- Group: Whole class
- Drills: Form selection under chance
6
Error Auction
Setup:
Write six sentences on the board, each with one irregular-verb error.
How to play:
Teams bid on a sentence they think they can repair. Highest bid tries. A clean repair wins the points; a miss gives the sentence to the next team for half.
On LexiClash:
The Spelling practice mode drills the same irregular forms letter by letter afterwards, for the errors the auction left standing.
- Time: 10 min
- Group: Teams of 3–4
- Drills: Error correction

Support

The base form

Shorter stems, a longer timer, and a visible word bank so go and eat still score while went is still new.

Core

Past and participle

Mixed go/went/gone on the same list, standard timer. The shared 6x6 board is enough.

Challenge

The awkward ones

Longer irregulars and a tighter timer — brought, thought, caught — still on the same board.

Eight minutes of go, went, gone

The loop fits in a grammar slot. You paste this week’s irregulars — present, past and participle — put a code on the projector, and the class hunts the forms on one board while you keep the controls.
