Past Continuous Game 

Past continuous tense Board Game using

WHEN & While

Roll the dice and count according to the spaces on the board and advance. If you fall on a pirate sign, you

restart. If you fall on a forward or backward sign, you move in that direction.

The rules here are simple. Practise the past continuous tense by landing on a space and creating the other
half. For example, number 2 “ … when the phone rang.” Student must say something with the past
continuous like this: “ I was eating my dinner last evening when the phone rang.”

If the sentence has a beginning part instead, the students have to make the ending. For example number 4:
“I was riding my bicycle yesterday, when I fell off.”
