Excuses Excuses Board Game ESL EFL Speaking Activity - Elementary - 30 Minutes Here is an amusing speaking game to help students practice past simple affirmative sentences as well as past simple regular and irregular verbs. In the activity, students play a board game where they make excuses for arriving to class late.

The class is divided into groups of four and each group is given a copy of the game board and a set of excuse cards. When a student lands on a square marked 'Sorry I’m late', the student picks up an excuse card and changes the sentence in to its past simple form to make an excuse for being late, e.g. 'Sorry I’m late. I missed the bus'. If the sentence is formed correctly, the student stays on the square. If it is incorrect, the student must move back to their previous square.
