Verbs that add -s

Last week our focus in English was on differentiating between verbs that do and do not add "s" on the end. To help the kids learn this I created a little game. Each student had a piece of paper with a word or words written on it. Some of the words were nouns (on yellow paper) and some were verbs (on blue paper).


The students then had to "find their match". The nouns had to find a verb that fit with their noun and vice versa. They had to make sure that the verbs with an "s" on the end were matched with nouns that were singular and the verbs without an "s" were matched with plural nouns. The kids enjoyed this little game and it seemed to help reinforce what we learned.
