Preparation: lace a Scoot Question Card on each desk.
P .
Attach them to the desk with tape.
How to Play: Students will move from desk to desk around the classroom.
At each desk, students will read the verb tense on the card
and write the past, present or future tense on the grid worksheet.
When the teacher says “SCOOT,” they move to the next desk.
Students visit each desk in the classroom and answer all of the question cards.
example: A student is at desk 4.

He reads a Scoot question card that says
“I will sleep in the bed”.
He writes “I slept in the bed” on his answer page.
When the teacher says “SCOOT,” he moves to desk number 5.
At the end of the game, collect all of the question cards and
review the answers with the class.
Management Suggestions:
Practice moving from desk to desk before playing the actual game.
Have them “Scoot” four or five times before you begin the actual game.
Some teachers like to spread out the desks a bit so students do not look
at the cards to the right or left of them before they arrive at the desks.
Watch your timing. If you tell the students to scoot too soon, they may
not be able to finish writing answers to their question cards. If you wait too
long before telling students to scoot, they may get bored and restless.
Use only as many question cards as you need. This version of the game
has 30 cards. However, if you have only 18 desks in your classroom,
only use 18 cards and 18 lines on the answer sheet.
(This file has answer sheets with 20, 25, and 30 lines. Use whichever one
best meets your needs.)
