Irregular Verbs Christmas Writing Activity

The 10 free gifts of Christmas keeps on giving. Use this irregular verbs Christmas activity to discover, practice or review irregular verbs with your students in this Christmas-themed matching game. Students can play as individually, in pairs, in small groups or as a class as they match what is being said to one of the four characters on the worksheet: Santa, the elf, girl on the naughty list, girl on the nice list. That’s the simple part, of course. Once they finish up with that, have every student write down something each character would say on separate bits of paper (or in the group chat). Pick one out at random and read it to the class so they can match it to who said it!

You could have them write whatever they want without any restrictions, or you could make them use irregular verbs only. Up to you 🙂
