Quizzes that mark themselves the moment you answer. Start with Verb Charades, where nothing is written down and you work out the verb by watching what the character does, then move up to the tense games when you are ready.
The little block acts out a verb, just like the Do It Test. Watch what it does, then tap the word that matches. Ten rounds.
Press Start and watch closely.
The arcade game on the verb hub. Eight kinds of question fire at random, from finding the verb to naming the tense to active and passive, so it draws on all five levels at once.
For Grade/Class 1 and 2, Year 2 and 3. Finding the verb, before any tenses.

Every one is free and marks itself as you play.
Each quiz comes from a full free lesson with worked examples, practice and a printable worksheet.

It is a quiz where a character acts out a verb instead of showing you the word. It might jump, spin, sleep, climb or dance, and you choose which of the four words matches what you saw. It works the same way as charades, and it suits children who are still learning to read, because the clue is a movement rather than a sentence.
Start with Verb Charades if you are still working out what a verb is. Move on to Verb Catcher and The Hopping S once you can spot one. Time Traveller, Rule Breaker Rally and Tense Detective come next, because they all assume you can already find the verb and are now choosing which shape it should take. Verb Rush is the one to finish on, because it mixes questions from every level at once.
Verb Charades suits Grade/Class 1 to 4 and Year 2 to 5, though older students enjoy it as a warm up. Time Traveller, Rule Breaker Rally and Tense Detective suit Grade/Class 3 to 5 and Year 4 to 6. The verb lessons they link to run all the way from Grade 1 to Cambridge O Level and Matric, so a student can start here and carry on at the right level.
Yes. Verb Charades works well on a projector or a smartboard as a five minute starter, with the class calling out the answer together.

Yes. Every quiz topic has a free printable PDF worksheet with a full answer key at the back, plus a flashcard pack for Level 1, and a hundred verb list and a 24 pair flashcard game for Level 2. Nothing is watermarked and no email address is needed to download them.
Yes. Everything is tap based rather than typed, so it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. If a device has motion effects turned off, the Describe it in words button explains the action in plain English instead.
