Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Match base verbs with their past forms: regular -ed (played, opened), irregular (went, saw) and vowel-change (sat, drank), and know past time words such as an hour ago (indicator ต 1.2 ป.4/1).

What's in the worksheet

4 questions, matching 4 pairs each - play to played, open to opened - go to went, see to saw, come to came - sit to sat, give to gave, drink to drank - last night to เมื่อคืน, an hour ago to เมื่อชั่วโมงที่แล้ว

How to use it in class

Use after teaching the past simple, about 5 minutes, in teams. Q1 is easy because the base word is visible, a confidence builder; Q2 and Q3 test real memorisation. - After Q2, chant go went, eat ate, see saw, come came in rhythm - Use Thai mode for Q4: English mode repeats the same phrase on both sides - Play it linked to your class so scores go into the gradebook

Common sticking points

- In Q3, give and drank may be crossed by children who know neither form - come and came (Q2): some think came is a misspelling of come - an hour ago (Q4) is new and matched by elimination; ask what it means afterwards
