Students work in pairs. Each pair gets a short story or paragraph. They must highlight all verbs in different colors: finite verbs in one color and non-finite verbs in another. After identifying, they must explain why each verb is finite or non-finite. The pair that correctly identifies the most verbs wins!

Materials needed:
- Short stories or paragraphs
- Colored highlighters
- Timer

Create sentence strips containing various verbs. Students work in small groups to sort these strips into two categories: finite and non-finite verbs. Each group must justify their categorization. After sorting, groups can swap their sets and verify each other's work.

Example sentences:
- The dog barks loudly (finite)
- Running in the park (non-finite)
- To swim is healthy (non-finite)
- She danced gracefully (finite)

Students sit in a circle. The first student starts a story with a sentence using a finite verb. The next student must continue the story but use a non-finite verb. This alternation continues around the circle. If a student uses the wrong type of verb or can't continue, they're out. The last few students remaining win!

Example:
Student 1: "The boy walked to school." (finite)
Student 2: "Running late as usual..." (non-finite)
Student 3: "He reached the classroom." (finite)

Using digital news articles appropriate for Grade 7, students use the computer's highlight function to mark finite verbs in one color and non-finite verbs in another. They can create a digital document showing their findings and explaining their choices. This activity helps combine technology skills with grammar learning.

Tools needed:
- Computer/tablet
- Digital articles
- Word processing software

Create cards with different actions. Students pick a card and act out the verb. The class must guess the verb and then decide if it's being used as a finite or non-finite verb in the sentence they create. For example, if the action is 'dance,' students might say either 'She dances beautifully' (finite) or 'Dancing in the rain is fun' (non-finite).

Create physical building blocks or cards with different parts of speech. Some blocks should have finite verbs, others non-finite verbs, and others have subjects, objects, and other parts of speech. Students work in groups to construct grammatically correct sentences using these blocks. They must explain why the verb they used is finite or non-finite.

Materials:
- Word cards/blocks
- Worksheet for recording sentences

Provide students with base form verbs. They must transform each verb into both finite and non-finite forms and use them in sentences. For example:
Base verb: 'sing'
Finite: 'He sings in the choir'
Non-finite: 'Singing in the choir is enjoyable' (gerund)
Non-finite: 'To sing is her passion' (infinitive)
Non-finite: 'The sung melody was beautiful' (participle)

Students work in pairs to create a short news report about a school event. One student is the reporter who must use finite verbs (present/past tense reporting), while the other provides background information using non-finite verbs. They then present their report to the class, who must identify the different verb forms used.

Example:
Reporter: "The annual sports day happened yesterday." (finite)
Background: "Running in various races, students showed great spirit." (non-finite)

Create a board game where students move spaces by rolling dice. Each space has a verb-related task:
- Blue spaces: Create a sentence with a finite verb
- Green spaces: Create a sentence with an infinitive
- Yellow spaces: Create a sentence with a gerund
- Red spaces: Create a sentence with a participle

Students must complete the task correctly to stay on the space. First to reach the end wins!

Provide students with a text containing deliberately incorrect usage of finite and non-finite verbs. In teams, they must:
1. Identify the errors
2. Explain why they are errors
3. Correct them

The team with the most accurate corrections and explanations wins.

Example errors:
- "To goes to school" (incorrect infinitive)
- "She swimming in the pool" (missing finite verb)
- "The boy run fast" (incorrect finite form)
