Real Photo Language Cards: What Happened Yesterday (Past Tense Verbs)

These cards were created to be work on regular and irregular past tense verbs.  I provided a quick grammar review to use with students if needed. The main purpose of this deck was to provide practice but you can use them to teach the concepts too. The picture stimuli are real photos of people and things that children can relate to. This deck is great for students who struggle with these concepts orally or in their writing. They come in a printable and BOOM card (digital version). 

It contains:

• 20 regular past tense cards (these are easier to recognize because they are words that end in -ed). 
• 20 irregular past tense cards (these are harder to recognize because the stay the same or change, I put a contrast with an -ed version to help with discrimination, example: eated vs. ate) .
• 20 mixed regular/irregular past tense cards

I typically review the regular and irregular cards first and then do the mixed set to see if they are grasping the concepts and can discriminate the regular vs. irregular verbs. When I work on these skills, I often just ask for the response orally, but I included the text choices if you need them or to provide feedback for the student. . I present the cards by saying “Look at this picture” and then I say what they are doing today “Today they are eating lunch” Then I say “Now it is the next day, let’s say what they did yesterday. I then ask the student to say what they did yesterday “Yesterday they ate lunch” or if the students need more support I say the cloze phrase and have them fill in the verb “Yesterday they _____ lunch.” 

Assembly: Print and laminate the print version. Use a dry erase marker to make a check in the boxes. 

BOOM Cards: NONE! Just open up in BOOM learning and play. There are interactive elements on the cards: Tap the parts of speech (this is self checking if you click “submit”). The student also must tap the checkmarks after they answer the two prompts.
