A very simple game to practice present perfect, especially with “just”.

Put students into groups of 4 and hand out one set up cut up cards per group (or have one student per group scan the QR code). They place the pile in the middle of the table and turn over one card at a time. The first student to make a correct present perfect sentence about the card, keeps the card/gets one point. The student with the most cards/points at the end is the winner. 

Example: One student turns over the picture of the cat and the fish skeleton:

The first to shout something like "The cat has just eaten the fish", gets one point.

For a longer and more challenging version. Each student in the group must make a sentence about the card:

"The cat has just eaten the fish"
"The cat has been naughty"
"The fish has just died."

Do you really want to hit print? This is also a QR code activity, so you could save yourself the time and paper and have them do it on their smartphones.
