Pronunciation of the regular verbs for beginning and intermediate students is always challenging. I created this kinesthetic lesson to provide students a challenging problem solving activity which is easy to correct. I begin with putting the heading of “t”, “d”, and “id” on the whiteboard, and then ask them to tell me which is the final sound as I pronounce a number of different verbs. They tell me. After we have quite a list under each heading, I ask them if they can figure out what the common pattern is to each. Finally I give them a sandwich bag full of mixed up verbs and have them decide what goes under each title. As students begin to get them correct, I ask them to help me check the other students. It works really well.
