Listening practice: (-ed) ending sounds for simple past regular verbs

My dictation exercise includes listening, writing, speaking and scanning and comprehension. There are four sheets to my dictation exercise. 
1.	An article sheet for you to read to the student.
2.	A vocabulary sheet for the student, send this to the student.
3.	A question-and-answer (Q&A) sheet for the student. This is also sent to the student.
4.	A question sheet for you to read to the student.
I suggest you copy and paste into four different documents. The question-and-answer sheet can be used for other dictations.
I convert the vocabulary, and question and answer sheet to pdf format, as the student’s device doesn’t need MS Word installed for it to display.
Send or give the vocabulary sheet and Q&A to the student. Dictate the questions to the student. Then check they’ve written them fully by asking them to read the questions they’ve written. Be aware some will attempt write only a couple of key words! Next you read the article to the student, but not too fast. I usually read it twice, maybe emphasizing the answers. Finally, you ask the student the questions and check their answers.  Maybe re-read the relevant part so they can hear the answer.

A fun and engaging lif-size game to learn action verbs. It requires a giant foam or cartboard dice and some tape. You can use all the cards, only the ones your students know, or add your own.
Print and cut out the cards. Lay them on the floor in any shape you like (spiral, line, square, etc.) and tape them down so they don’t slip and cause accidents. 
Students take turns rolling a die (a giant foam die is ideal, or you can make a large cardboard die). The student moves forward the same number of spaces as shown on the die. When they land on a card, they must read the action out loud and mime it. (If students cannot read, the teacher reads the card for them). If they do the action correctly, they stay on that card. If they make a mistake, they move back the same number of spaces they rolled. TIP: Encourage other students to help check if the action is correct! The first student to reach the end with an exact roll wins! 
NOTE:
This game can be easily adapted for higher levels. Instead of just reading the action, students can make short sentences to practise the present simple or present continuous.
For example:
•	Monkeys climb on trees.
•	The cat is sleeping on the sofa.
