What are these infinitive or gerund spin wheel PPTs?
This set has 3 free PowerPoint games. Each game is a spinning wheel with 20 verbs, and the three parts follow alphabetical order, so together they cover 60 verbs. The wheels mix verbs that are followed by the infinitive, the gerund or both, and students have to use each verb in a sentence.
Use one part per lesson. Twenty verbs on a wheel is about the right size for a 10-minute grammar game.
Infinitive or gerund: a quick reminder
After some verbs we use the infinitive (to + verb), after others the gerund (verb + -ing), and some take both.
- Verb + gerund: She enjoys swimming. He avoided answering.
- Verb + infinitive: They decided to leave. I hope to travel next year.
- Verb + either, same meaning: I like reading / I like to read.
- Verb + either, different meaning: I stopped to buy bread (I stopped in order to buy it) and I stopped buying bread (I no longer buy it).
Verbs such as stop, remember, forget and try change their meaning depending on the form that follows them. These are the ones students most often mix up, so give them extra time.
Why teach it with a spin wheel?
Students cannot learn which verbs take the infinitive or the gerund by rule alone, so they need to meet the verbs again and again. A wheel makes the revision random and fun, and asking for a full sentence makes students choose the correct form instead of just repeating a list.
How to play in a large class (40+ students)
No materials are needed. Only the teacher’s computer and projector.
- Make teams. Each row of desks is a team.
- Spin the wheel. The wheel lands on a verb.
- Make a sentence. The team’s speaker says a sentence with that verb, using the infinitive, the gerund or both when the verb allows it.
- Score. One point for a correct sentence. Another team can steal the point if the first team is wrong.
- Rotate speakers so every student gets a turn.
Variation: students write their sentence in their notebooks first. Then the teacher spins, and they read and check their own answers.
