Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Practise pairing common verbs with their past forms (go went, eat ate, run ran, write wrote), past-time words, and past question-answer pairs, so pupils can ask and tell about the past (ต 1.2 ป.5/1).

What's in the worksheet

4 matching questions, 4 pairs each - Match go to went and take to took - Match come to came and give to gave - Match two days ago to สองวันก่อน - Match What did you see? to I saw a bird. and Who came here? to My friend came.

How to use it in class

Use as a past-forms warm-up, 4-5 minutes, with teams competing. - Before item 2, tell pupils this group changes the middle vowel and let them guess before tapping - After item 4, pairs ask each other the same questions and answer about their own lives Play it linked to a class and the results go into the mark book. - Use Thai mode: English mode repeats both sides in some questions, so children can match without reading the meaning

Common sticking points

- Item 2: swapping came and gave, which look alike; read come came, give gave aloud - Item 1: pairing take with ate or eat with took if the pairs were never chanted - Item 4: Who came here? has no did, which confuses pupils who learned that past questions need did; explain that when Who is the doer, no did is used
