I did a game with teenagers and with adults, that I called "Crime." I wrote the question on the board:

"Where were you and what were you doing last night at 10:30 pm?" (which is practically a tongue twister for Brazilians, because they don't use the letters "w" and "y" in Portuguese.)
Hello.

Thx for this game... and as fast as I read it I came up with a little variaton of it...

Instead of teaching Past Continuous, it could be used to teach Past Simple just changing the question to "Where were you and what did you do last night?"

Some excellent games on here. I hope this post is continued. Does anyone have ideas for teaching games for one-on-one or small group lessons with adults to teach past tense?

Thanks Smy12Brazil for your Crime game suggestion. I adapted it into a card game that I will attach for anyone who is interested. It works well and the kids like trying to figure out which one of their classmates is the thief.

I am so excited to try the freeze game and the crime game with my second year high schoolers.

Thanks so much for the ideas.
