Past Tense Verbs Postcards Regular and Irregular Activity Print + Google Slides™

Try something new and interesting to target past tense verbs in speech therapy! Writing postcards (with REAL photos) from U.S. landmarks and tourist attractions is an educational and engaging activity for older language students. The postcards can be printed as worksheets or used digitally using the Google Slides™ version.

This resource contains 20 realistic postcards to help your students use past tense verbs... functionally! Each postcard has a letter about the destination with 8-10 fill-in-the-blank spaces to add a regular or irregular past tense verb. A word bank of verbs (not conjugated) is also included on each page, although most blanks have multiple possible answers.

To work on past tense verbs at a more advanced level, there is also an open-ended version of the postcards. In this version, students write the entire letter. In addition to targeting past tense, you can target many other language goals such as

✅Creating written narratives

✅Subject-verb agreement

✅Formulating complex and compound sentences

✅Using description

✅Comprehension and main idea/key details (Just pair with an article, website, or video about the landmark.)

Your students will be interested to learn about places around the United States. This is a perfect activity to tie into history or social studies curricula, and it's easy to find online resources to extend each topic (the landmarks' websites, YouTube, etc.).

Here are the formats that you'll get:

• A PDF with color photograph postcards that can be printed, written on, cut out, and folded by the student to look like a postcard
• A PDF with black/white photograph postcards (that can be used to save ink!)
• A Google Slides™ activity with fillable text boxes

This activity will give your students a break from the same ol' same ol' grammar activities (and give you a break from planning!), all while targeting past tense verbs in a natural and functional way!
