Past continuous past simple dominos

An online-friendly and printable domino-inspired game to practice sentences and questions using past continuous and past simple in the same sentence with different placements of when and while.

While I would love to have a perfectly digital version of our original Grammino games, this is a good second-best option! Use this A4 poster as an online activity or printable to practice using past continuous and past simple in the same sentence with different placements of when and while. The same sentence is written four different ways on poster as an example of the different placements of when and while.

Students can play in pairs, small groups or as a class. The point is to make connections between the beginning of a sentence and the image on the next domino (follow the arrows!). Be sure to let students know that the image is only there to inspire a response and does not need to be used literally.

Once you’ve made it around the full loop, do it again without repeating any of the same sentences from the first loop. See how far you can go and how deep your students’ imagination and language skills can take them!

I have been teaching English abroad since receiving my CELTA certificate in Poland in 2018. I enjoy tracking my individual students’ development but love having lessons with big groups! Now that I teach online, I am accompanied by my sidekicks Olaf, Mała, Pirate and Bandit on a regular basis.

It takes a team of 13 to create and produce this material. In order for that to continue, please think about purchasing your own subscription to ESL Expertz and encourage your colleagues to do the same. We appreciate your confidence and support!
