In 6th grade, we’re practicing the present continuous at the moment, and we just did an activity that I call “In the Park.”
I printed out a copy of this park for each student, and they had to draw themselves doing something in the park (e.g. I am standing up on the table., I am sleeping under the tree., etc.) Then, they had to mingle, ask each other, “What are you doing in the park?,” and draw their classmates around the park.
They’ve also just started a new unit, and the vocabulary is about TV shows (cartoons, the news, films, etc.), so I created this information gap activity for them to practice. They had to ask each other, “What is your number?,” and write each person’s name on the line next to their class number. Then, they asked, “What are you watching?,” and, “What can you see?,” and drew a picture of what each person described in the box (e.g. I’m watching a cooking show. I can see a chef. He is baking a cake.)
They like doing activities like this that get them up and moving, and I like doing activities that give them conversation practice!
¡Buena suerte!
