Hello, friends! Today, we’re going on an exciting adventure with King Arthur. We’re going to help him find his way through a maze filled with tricky verbs. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
Our mission is to help King Arthur reach the sword in the stone. But there’s a twist! We need to find a path using special verbs called “irregular verbs.” These verbs don’t follow the usual rule of adding “ed” to make them past tense. Let’s see how we can help Arthur!
We begin at the word “sat.” This is an irregular verb because we don’t say “sitted.” From “sat,” we can move to “hid” or “hide.” Let’s use them in a sentence to see which one sounds right.
“John hid in the bushes yesterday.” That sounds correct! So, we draw a line from “sat” to “hid.”
Now, from “hid,” we can go to “told” or “sit.” Let’s try them in a sentence:
“John told our neighbor about the store yesterday.” That sounds right! So, we move from “hid” to “told.”
Next, we can go to “walked” or “spoke.” Remember, we’re looking for irregular verbs, so let’s see:
“Susie spoke to the woman yesterday.” That’s correct! So, we move to “spoke.”
From “spoke,” we can choose “fixed” or “ate.” Let’s try them:
“John ate his dinner yesterday.” That’s right! So, we go to “ate.”
Now, we have “did” or “painted.” Let’s see:
“Susie did her homework yesterday.” That’s correct! So, we move to “did.”
From “did,” we can choose “looked” or “drink.” Let’s try:
“Tom drank his orange juice yesterday.” That’s right! So, we go to “drink.”
Finally, we have “slept” or “eat.” Let’s see:
“Grace slept in her bed yesterday.” That’s correct! So, we move to “slept.”
From “slept,” we can choose “speak” or “ran.” Let’s try:
“John ran to the house yesterday.” That’s right! So, we go to “ran.”
Hooray! We made it to the sword in the stone! Great job, everyone! You helped King Arthur find his way using irregular verbs. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a verb expert in no time!
Don’t forget to explore more fun activities and keep learning. See you next time!
Verb Hunt at Home: Go on a verb hunt around your house! Look for actions happening around you and write them down. Try to find at least five irregular verbs. For example, if you see someone eating, write down “ate.” Share your list with a family member and see if they can add more verbs to it!
Verb Charades: Play a game of charades with your family or friends using irregular verbs. Write down different irregular verbs on pieces of paper, like “ran,” “drank,” or “hid.” Take turns picking a verb and acting it out without speaking. See if others can guess the verb you’re acting out!
Story Time with Irregular Verbs: Create a short story using at least five irregular verbs. Start with a sentence like “Once upon a time, a brave knight…” and include verbs like “sat,” “spoke,” and “ran.” Share your story with your class or family and see if they can spot all the irregular verbs you used!

Today we have a new worksheet. The name of our worksheet is “King Arthur: Maze of Regular Verbs.” Let’s read through the directions. Here we’ve got King Arthur at the top, and then we’ve got the sword and the stone at the bottom. If you know the story about King Arthur, let’s see what the directions say.
It says not all verbs end in “ed” to make the past tense; some verbs are irregular. Help Arthur get to the stone with the sword. Draw a line down or across to an irregular past tense verb to make it to the stone. No skipping stones, and remember no “ed” endings.
So what we’re going to do is start here where it says “start,” and we have the word “sat.” “Sat” is a great example of an irregular past tense verb. You wouldn’t say “sitted”; they change it to make it an irregular verb, so the word is “sat.”
Now, we can either go up, down, or across. Our two options from here are either “hid” or “hide.” I always think it’s best to put these words into a sentence because it will help us hear it. A lot of times you can hear it and think, “Oh, that doesn’t really sound right.”
Let’s make up a sentence. The first one here is “hid.” So let’s say, “John hid in the bushes yesterday.” Does that make sense? Yes, that makes sense. Now let’s go down to our other option: “John hide in the bushes yesterday.” Is that correct? No, that doesn’t sound right. So that lets me know that I need to go across this way.
I’m going to draw a line from “sat” to “hid.” Now again, we can either go up, down, or across. My options are “told” and “sit.” Let’s use John again in our sentence: “John told our neighbor that we were going to the store yesterday.”
Or “John sit on the couch yesterday.” That doesn’t sound right; it would be “sat.” So we’re going to go from “hid” to “told.”
Now we have some more options. We could either go back to “hid,” but we’re not going to do that. We could either go across to “walked” or down to “spoke.”
Let’s make it a girl this time. Let’s put her in a sentence: “Susie walked to the store yesterday.” Yes, that makes sense. Or “Susie spoke to the woman yesterday.” Well, that also makes sense.
Let’s look at our directions again. It said no skipping stones and remember no “ed” endings. So even though “walked” is a past tense verb that uses “ed,” we’re looking for irregular past tense verbs, so we’re actually going to go down to “spoke.”
Now our next options are either “sit,” “fixed,” or “ate.” We can go either across or down to “ate.” Let’s see which one makes sense.
“John fixed the roof yesterday.” Yep, that makes sense. “John ate his dinner yesterday.” Yep, that makes sense. Or “John sit on the couch yesterday.” Nope, that’s not correct.
So we’re going to either go “fixed” or “ate,” but “fixed” has an “ed” ending, so we’re going to go down to “ate.”
Then it says we can either go across or down. We’re not going to go back up to “spoke.” Let’s see which one we should do. We’re either going to choose from “did,” “tell,” or “painted.”
“Susie painted the house yesterday.” That makes sense. “Susie tell her friend yesterday.” “Susie tell”—no, it would be “Susie told.” Or “Susie did the homework yesterday.” Well, both of them would be correct: “did” or “painted.” But “painted” has an “ed” ending, so we’re going across to “did.”
Now we can either go across to “looked” or down to “drink.” Let’s use another sentence. Let’s do Tom this time: “Tom looked in the window yesterday.” Or “Tom drank his orange juice yesterday.” Both make sense.
Let’s see; we’ve got an “ed” ending on “looked,” so that would not be correct. We’re going to go down to “drink.”
From here, we can either choose “eat,” “tell,” or “slept.” Let’s use them in a sentence. Let’s do a girl this time: “Grace tell her neighbor what to do.” That doesn’t make sense for talking about it in the past.
“Grace slept in her bed yesterday.” That makes sense. “Grace eat her food yesterday.” “Grace eat her food”—no, it wouldn’t be “eat”; it would be “she ate her food.” “Grace slept in the bed.” That makes sense, so we’re going to go down to “slept.”
Then from here, we only have two options across: we can either do “speak” or “ran.” Let’s use them both in a sentence: “John speak to his neighbor yesterday.” Or “John ran to the house yesterday.”
“John ran to the house”—it wouldn’t be “speak”; it would be “John spoke.” So that’s not right. We’re going to go down to “ran.”
We made it to our finish! We made it all the way down to the sword and the stone. Congratulations, everyone! You did a great job!
