On subsequent turns, students may only select cells that have at least one side touching a cell which he/she has already claimed (and is not already claimed by another student). Once a cell has been claimed, or colored in, by a student, it is not eligible to be used again by anyone.
If the sentence is grammatically correct (or at least the verb is conjugated correctly), he/she will color in the cell.
On a student’s turn, he/she will state a past tense sentence using the verb in the cell he/she has selected. Students then choose a verb, any verb, from the row or column that forms the border of their chosen side. Before beginning, each student chooses a side to start from, only one student may start from any given side, and there is no advantage to starting from one side or another. The goal is to move from one side of the board to the other by making past tense sentences with the irregular verbs. The game can be played in groups of two, three, or four, and each person in the group will need his/her own color. You can also print on regular paper and play with crayons or colored pencils, if you choose, but then you’ll need a new grid for each round. You can use dry erase markers to color the cells (you’ll need one color for each player on the board). I suggest printing the grids on card stock and then laminating them for repeated use. To prepare, simply print out the grids (free in my Teachers Pay Teachers store, simply use the link above or click on the picture) and gather your other supplies (all normal classroom materials). The game board is a 10×10 grid with the present tense form of an irregular verb in each cell.
Escape! The Irregular Verb Grid is a simple to make and easy to play game.
