Past Time Adventures
Young learners race around a 24-space board answering questions about past events, acting out yesterday's activities, and discussing what they did. Players use simple past tense (I went, she played, we ate) and past nominal forms (my breakfast, their game, the movie) to complete communicative tasks with real information gaps.
A free Board Game for Young learners at CEFR A2 level. Topic: simple past tense in verbal form and nominal form.
