Another good idea our teacher trainer Stefania suggested to us is this activity for young students, through which they practise the leading forms of the irregular verbs together with certain movements (use of kinesthetic and linguistic intelligences). If the verbs have three different forms, when they say the Infinitive they should put their both hands on the top of the head, when they say the Past Simple they should move their hands to the waist and when they say the Past Participle they should bend and touch their feet with both hands. If the forms are the same, they should just repeat the previous movement.
Eg. go (hands to the head) / went (hands to the waist) / gone (hands to toes)
say (hands to the head) / said (hands to the waist) / said (hands to the waist)
cut (hands to the head) /cut (hands to the head) / cut (hands to the head)
This activity can be a game, which can be played in a circle or it can be played in pairs. If it is played in pairs, the first student says a verb in the Infinitive, the second student says the Past Simple, the first says the Past Participle and the second starts another verb in the Infinitive. Of course they have to perform the movements as they say the different forms of the verb and they can lose if either a movement or a verb form are wrong.
