English-speaking countries quiz

This worksheet is designed to be used in conjunction with a YouTube video to practise the use of "comparatives and superlatives". Play the video using this link  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfPGyb5pZpg   



There are a set of questions which can be answered by watching the video. All of the questions and answers require use of comparative and superlative adjective structures.



The activity should be done as a controlled practice or an activation task after the grammar structures have been taught. 



The answer key is provided. 



I hope your students enjoy it! :)





Student Instructions



1. Watch the video.

2. Read the questions before each clip. Try to guess the answers while talking to a partner.

3. Watch the clip carefully to find the answer.

4. Write the answers on the worksheet provided. 

5. Use comparatives (adj+er / more +adj) and superlatives (the adj+est / the most +adj) to answer the questions.



Comparatives and Superlatives - World Knowledge Video Activity

This worksheet / lesson plan (90-120 mins) is based on the classic Cinderella fairy tale. The students review all the forms of past simple while practicing their listening, reading, writing and speaking skills.

1. Students write down the past simple verbs they hear as the story is dictated. 

2. Students read the story and check the verbs 

3. Students form groups and complete a grammar table for the past simple affirmative, negative and interrogative forms of be verb, regular verbs and irregular verbs. 

4. Students also populate a table with the present simple and past simple forms of the verbs in the story, categorizing them into be verb, regular or irregular. 

5. Each student practices writing these structures for a particular paragraph in the story. 

6. The written sentences are then handed to the teacher who conducts a fun quiz competition.

Cinderella - Grammar Guide - 4 Pages Grammar Exercises

The idea was for my students to get practice reading and recognising different countries names in English through various fun exercises.  The countries are mostly the easy ones, but i like to throw in a few that they probably don't know of as well.  

1) Match the different countries to their flags and landmarks. 

2) Fill in the missing letters to complete the capital cities.  

3) Group the countries into the correct continents.  

4) And a few light quiz questions at the end.  



Having some colour flash cards of the flags helps a lot, as the B&W printouts make it a little difficult to guess the flags. 



This is week 1 of a two week lesson plan, the following week my plan is to teach nationalities and foreign languages. 



But you could easily use this work sheet as an intro into an individual or group project and have the students write or do a presentation about a foreign country or the country that they would most like to visit.  



I hope you find it useful.



Thank you
