Practise the past simple of irregular verbs in a fun and interactive way with this Noughts and Crosses game. The resource includes 99 gapped sentences (nine per grid) for students to complete using the correct verb forms.

The game works like traditional Noughts and Crosses. Players or teams take turns placing their Hearts or Stars in an empty square — but only if they correctly complete the sentence. The first player or team to get three symbols in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — wins.

The resource includes a PDF with 11 grids and an interactive version for electronic devices. Perfect for classroom practice, homework, or independent study, this activity combines grammar practice with strategy, keeping students engaged while reinforcing their English skills.
