Scrambled Sentences are an excellent way
to practice grammar recognition and
syntax. You give students all the words to
form one sentence in mixed-up order.
Students then re-arrange the words to
form a grammatically correct sentence.
Each student needs his/her own sheet of
paper. You write words on the whiteboard
then give students a few minutes to form a
sentence. Students work individually.
Students raise their hands when they think
they've formed a good sentence. You walk
over and check. Once most of the class has
the answer, write the sentence on the
board and ask if anyone has questions

For this activity students work in pairs or
small groups to prepare a description of an
animal. (For a longer activity have each
group prepare 3-5 separate animal
descriptions. Note that if you allow
students to write out their descriptions,
this becomes more like a focused practice
activity.) Once students have prepared
their descriptions, each group takes turns
telling a description to the rest of the class,
who then guess the name of the animal.
Short Speeches (2-5 minutes per student)
can be prepared for homework and
presented in class. It's probably best not to
interrupt the student at all during his/her
speech. You can use index cards (one per
student) to provide individual feedback, or
you can just take notes and review the
target grammar and vocabulary after all the
students have presented their speeches

Chain Stories work really well when you
give the class some structure. To practice
the simple present for habitual action try
starting the story with, "John always has a
busy day. He wakes up at 6:00 o'clock every
morning. At 6:10 he... Each student
continues the story by adding an original
sentence,
Pair Interviews can be conducted on a
variety of topics. This type of activity should
only be used for the simple present and
present progressive if you are teaching
yes/no and why question forms at the
same time.
