Activities

Time Indicators

Procedure - One student says a time word or phrase (e.g. next year, a few days ago). A second student must complete a sentence using the proper verb tense. That student then says a different time word or phrase. A third student uses it to form a sentence, but may not use the same verb or subject pronoun the second student used.

Verb tenses may be repeated if necessary, but verbs may not, and subject pronouns may be repeated only after they have all been used once.

Example:

First student: " At the moment..."
Second student: "... I am sitting in a classroom."
Second student: " Last year..."
Third student: "... they went to Europe."
Third student: " Every day..."
Fourth student: "... she takes the bus to work."

Animals for a Day

Procedure - Show the students a photocopied list of many different animals, and ask them to choose, individually and without speaking,
an animal they would like to be for a day. Give them a minute. Then
(something they won't be expecting), get them to write a few sentences,
once again working alone, about their day, or their thoughts-as the animal
they have chosen. Give them a few minutes.
