Activity Sheet 2
Flashcards

Target:

The aim of this lesson is to improve speaking and writing skills talking about daily actions and to practice the simple present and present continuous.

Preparation:

First print the activity sheet and the flash cards. Photocopy one activity sheet for each student in the class, and make one set of cards for each group of four or five students. It works well if you paste the card sheet on to cardboard and then cut out the cards.

Introduction:

After going through your regular review and teacher talk, tell the students that they’re going to make a role-play about daily activities with some flashcards.

Group Activity

Break the students up into groups of four or five. Ask each student to pick up a card and describe what they see to the other students. They can also first write down a short description and then read it to them (especially for elementary levels).

Individual Activity

Give each student the second activity sheet and ask the students to look at the picture and write what the children are doing using the simple present or the present continuous.

Wrap Up

The students break up their groups and come together as a class again. Quickly, try the routine as a class. Then ask the students to read out loud what they have written in the second activity sheet.

NOTE: For Advanced Levels you can ask the students to write a story for each flashcard, using at least 150 words and all tenses they know.
