This resource is designed to help students understand and practice narrative tenses—such as past simple, past continuous, and past perfect—through interactive and meaningful storytelling activities. It includes 15 short, engaging stories (e.g., The Alarm Clock Disaster, The Lost Dog, Inside the Videogame) presented as puzzle strips that students can read, analyze, and sequence correctly .

Each story highlights the use of different past tenses in context, allowing learners to notice how actions are connected and how events unfold over time. The puzzle format encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and active participation, making grammar practice more dynamic and enjoyable.

Additionally, the resource includes “Make your own story” sections (page 6), where students can apply what they’ve learned by creating their own narratives using target structures . This combination of guided practice and creative production makes the material ideal for reinforcing narrative tenses in a communicative and student-centered way.narr
