    PRESENT CONTINUOUS

    1. Present Continuous Pictionary


    Similar to Mimes, students try to guess which Present Continuous sentence someone is
    drawing on the board, e.g. a picture of “The man is throwing a javelin”. Students can either
    race to draw an identifiable picture as quickly as possible, or draw very slowly to make
    guessing more difficult. / remind the tens if necessary

    2. Ex. 1 p. 66
    Describe what’s happening around you at the moment / true answers + present simple
    follow up

    PRESENT CONTINUOUS + PRESENT SIMPLE

    3. Definitions game
    Give students a list of words and ask them to choose one and describe it with just sentences
    using the Present Simple and Preset Continuous. For example, if the word is “breathe” they
    could say “I do this many many times every day” and “Everyone in the world is doing this
    now except some divers.”

    4. Ex. 2 p. 66
    Remember to look at the time expressions / adverbs of frequency + distribute worksheet

    PAST CONTINUOUS

    5. Strange Explanations
    One person acts as the accuser and asks classmates why they were doing strange activities,
    and the second student must explain that strange activity. Each question should start with
    ‘When I saw you…’ For example, the accuser might say, ‘When I saw you, you were sticking
    bubblegum to your shoe’. The second student might answer, ‘I was filling in a hole in my
    shoe’. Encourage your students to be as creative and outrageous as they can for this activity!

    Ex. 3 p. 66
    Badger – borsuk
    + write how to construct the sentences

    Ex. 4 p. 66
    How to construct questions in past continuous?
    + walk across the class

    PAST CONTINUOUS AND PAST SIMPLE

    + how to write sentences - ask


    Word Cards
    Have a stack of cards with random words prepared. Each student will choose two. In rounds
    have them create a sentence for their pair of words—one word for the past tense clause and
    one for the past continuous clause. For example, they draw the two
    words, drive and monkey. A possible sentence could be: I was driving down the street when I
    saw a monkey in the road. Or you can tell them to be more creative and allow some
    nonsense sentences. It does make it more challenging and fun if each of the words has to be
    used in a different clause. To make this activity even more involved you could have the
    students create sentences that somehow relate to the last person’s sentence to create a silly
    sort of story of things that were happening at a given time!

    Ex. 5 p. 66
