Activity Purpose/ Summary:
Our aim for this class was to focus on two different aspects.

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.
