Yesterday’s Camping

Students read a short narrative about a camping trip, with multiple simple past tense verbs missing. Each missing verb is provided in base form, and learners must rewrite it correctly in the simple past tense. The story context helps students understand how verb choices affect narrative flow and meaning. This activity builds comprehension, supports vocabulary recall, and provides practice with both regular and irregular verbs. Completing the story strengthens students’ command of past-tense storytelling language.
