Get students up and moving as they identify tenses, rewrite sentences, and connect tense to text type in this board game covering past, present, and future tense.

Players roll the dice and move along the track, landing on colour-coded spaces that determine which task card they draw - identify the tense, rewrite a sentence in a different tense, explain an author's choice, or match a sentence to the correct text type. A correct answer earns a point; the first player to collect 5 points wins. Special spaces include Roll Again, Miss a Turn, and Time Warp Go Back 1.

What's included:

  • 1 game board in colour and black and white

  • 24 task cards: 8 identify, 8 rewrite, and 8 author's choice and text type cards

  • Recording sheet for students to record examples of tenses, rewrite a sentence, and explain how changing the tense changes meaning

  • Answer keys
