Description: Your students will have fun reviewing past simple irregular verbs while learning about Alice Ball, the accomplished African American scientist and trailblazer for women scientists. In this engaging mystery picture reveal game, twenty sentences are presented one by one. The sentences are accompanied by audio recordings to support emergent and struggling readers. Each sentence contains an irregular verb in the past simple form, which students must type correctly to complete a piece of the puzzle. The following verbs and phrasal verbs are included: be, be born, become, come up with, choose, drink, find, get, give, go, have, keep, leave, make, put, spend, and write. A list of infinitive and past simple forms is given on the first page to review and clarify verb forms and spellings.
