Check out my Irregular Past Tense Spelling Game ! I made it because I had always missed something from the ones I found on the net, mainly the amount of words they make you practice. So I decided to make one myself :) You can practise 60 irregular past tense verbs with it. There are 5x12 verbs, each goup is set in a short story. There are 3 or 4 tasks for each group of verbs (16 tasks altogether. Here's how it goes: You must find the present equivalent of the verb in the given sentence.
