Act it out
Flash an action verb card and the whole class acts it out for five seconds. Then flash the past tense and kids freeze. Movement makes the word meaning stick, and freezing shows that past tense already happened.
Why it works: pulling an answer out of memory makes it stick far better than rereading it, one of the strongest findings in learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
