What did you do yesterday?
Rebecca Ladhams
| GRADE LEVEL: | JHS 1 |
| SKILLS: | Listening, speaking, reading, writing |
| TIME: | 20 minutes |
| MATERIALS: | Squares of paper (three for each student). Spare squares with answers on i.e. ‘I listened to music’, ‘I played baseball’ (about 30 and some spare blanks just incase) |
| OBJECTIVES: | To further understanding of ‘did’ and verbs in the simple past tense |
| | To practice writing, reading answers to ‘What did you do yesterday?’ |
| | To practice asking and answering ‘What did you do yesterday?’ |
| | To interact with each other in English |
PROCEDURE:
1. Hand out three squares of paper to each student. Ask them to write down a sentence answering the question ‘What did you do yesterday?’ Check answers and help them.
2. Everybody walks around the classroom playing janken in pairs. The winner asks the loser ‘What did you do yesterday?’ They answer with one of the sentences the have written and hand this piece of paper over. The winner is the student with the most pieces of paper at the end.
3. If you want to keep the activity short you can ask students to go and sit down when they have lost all their pieces of paper. To make the activity longer allow students who loose all their pieces of paper to take one new one from the spare pile/
NOTES:
You can change the grammar and conversation point, i.e. ‘When’s your birthday?’ and for a visit to an Elementary School I used ‘What’s your name?’ ‘My name’s…’ or when they have run out of their pieces of paper with their own name on it ‘My friend’s name is…’
