This was a good idea I came across Bucksmore summer school. A review for various tenses/structures.
Give students a piece of paper. Get them to split it into 4 squares.
In each of the squares they draw one of the following:
- Something you’ve done
- Something you were doing this time last year
- Something you will have done by the year 2050
- What you will be doing in the year 2050
They choose the squares for each drawing at random.
Go over the structures if you need to…
You’ve + V3
This time last year you were + Ving
By 2050 you will have + V3
In 2050 you’ll be + Ving
Students look at each other’s pictures and use the phrases to guess what each drawing shows.
Tweak the above examples to include structures you want to review.
Good fun. The drawing bit doesn’t have to take too long, I mean look how bad mine are!
Level? This activity was used at Upper-Int level. It was actually a warmer just to review these structures. Copyright Bucksmore I guess!
I’m writing a series of short posts in response to Martin Sketchley’s blog challenge. You can view his new blog here.
