the front of the class, draws a piece of paper with an

activity on it, and acts out the activity silently. The classtries to guess what he/she is doing.

2. The students can take turns acting out the activities, or

you can divide the class into teams. A student from each

team presents the activity to his/her team. If the teamguesses correctly in the allotted time (30 seconds), the

team scores a point. You may also allow the other team to

steal after the time limit is up. This keeps all students

Justification of Choosing the Games:

In activity 1, students are having fun by using their

physical movements to act out the verbs, and at the

same time, they learn the present progressive verbs.

In activity 2, students learn about the correct forms

of sentences with verbs used. Advantage is variability, you can use it for pair work

or group work.

By peers correction of the sentences, this may test

their understanding of verb forms. Hence, as

teachers, it is important to provide the correct

answers to their wrong sentences so that students

can learn from their mistakes.
