That student will actout what is written on the paper. His or her teamgets the first chance to guess what the student isacting out. Point out that the team must make theguess using a complete sentence to get a point. Ifthe guess is correct, the team will get a point. If itis not correct, the other team will get a chance toguess the answer. If neither team can guess, thestudent performs the action a second time andeach team gets another chance to guess. If helpful,model by pretending to be on one of the teams;choose a slip of paper and act out the concept.• Begin the game, making sure that for each round anew representative comes to the front to choose astrip of paper.

Passout the lists to the students. Tell them they havethree minutes to memorize the past tense forms ofthe verbs—then they will play a game. As studentsare studying the lists, make two lists of the baseforms of the verbs in random order on the board.• After three minutes, collect the lists from thestudents. Tell students their teams will be takingturns writing the past tense forms next to thepresent tense forms on the board. Students willdo this in “tag teams,” with a different student inthe group going to the board each time. Point outthat each student can write only one verb, but heor she may correct the previous student’s answer.Tell students that the first team to write all the pasttense forms correctly wins.• Have teams begin on your cue. Encourage themto work quickly. Play the game until one teamcompletes their list correctly.Unit 5, 5 Practice, page 44• Have students do this activity with theirbooks closed. Draw the two tic-tac-toe gridson the board.• Have students form an A team and a B team.• Remind students of the mechanics of the game.Each team chooses a symbol—an X or an O.The team who first makes a vertical, horizontal,or diagonal line of three Xs or three Os in thegrid wins.• Tell students the teams can take turns, in order,calling out the past tense form of one of the verbson either one of the tic-tac-toe grids. If theirsentence is correct, they can add a symbol to thatgrid.
