Activity Purpose/ Summary:
Our aim for this class was to focus on two different aspects.
1. Teach the children the present and past form of irregular verbs and how to build sentences with them.
2. Expand Vocabulary of the children.

Personnel Input:
Topic: Irregular Verbs

The activity centered around teaching irregular verbs in English, recognizing the difficulties learners encountered with the unpredictable changes in past tense forms. Three engaging activities were suggested: a memory game where students matched past and base verb cards, a creative task of making posters with irregular verbs, and a lively ball toss game where students called out past forms while tossing a ball. These activities aimed to reinforce understanding and made learning irregular verbs enjoyable.

Achievements:
We achieved having a fun lesson with the children, they really enjoyed the memory game and were mostly able to memorize the correct verb-forms.

Unanticipated Achievements:
Two students were already very confident and educated about irregular verbs.
