This game is for beginner students to practice Past Simple Questions. Through repetition students will memorize the question structure better and will have more fun practicing it than by writing.

Start with a couple of questions on the whiteboard (Did you go to the gym? Did you eat lunch at 12? Did you write a letter?...) and elicit the basic question structure (Did + Subject + Verb + Object) (please note you don't tell the students the structure - they will manage to figure it our by themselves from the examples).

Then, erase some words in those questions to elicit the Wh- question words (Where did you go? When did you eat lunch? What did you write? Why...? How..?).

After that, look at this handout (the first page) and elicit the full questions on the left.

If you work with one or two students, they will ask you the questions and you'll only answer with the words in the tiles that are dark grey on the second page. As you do, the student must draw in the same tiles on their handouts.

Continue this with the rest of the questions, and then the students must tell you what picture they got.



If you're working with a group of students, first do the aforementioned and then give them some time to make up their own picture and proceed with their partner.



Since Word files here often get distorted, here's a link to a PDF file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LD-lSns0B4N_JnoQhgoRtBxTlctMN2PM/view?usp=sharing (let me know if it doesn't work). 

Past Simple Questions game

It's a very easy exercise for kindergarten. It can be used as a warm up activity as well as revision for food products. At first you can show an example of prepared lunchbox and then pupils can create their own lunchboxes. I hope you like it.

Hey ESL Teachers!



Business English lesson materials are always high in demand, so I decided to publish a free lesson on Fluentize based on a short video about the basics of business etiquette.



I would say this lesson plan is probably most suitable for intermediate (B1) level students who are on the edge of upper intermediate (B2).



In order to view the video, please visit the lesson page on Fluentize via the link below.



https://app.fluentize.com/lesson/business-etiquette-basics



The lesson materials attached in this post include the first half of the lesson — the preview discussion material, the sections for pre-teaching the vocabulary in the video, and a listening comprehension exercise that goes along with the featured video.



You can access all the post-viewing sections when downloading it from Fluentize — including activities on vocabulary context usage, prefixes / parts of speech, rewriting sentences, follow-up conversational material, the quiz & review section, and the teacher's guide.



As you'll see in the lesson plan, the lesson starts off by discussing proper business etiquette. Students then do a short activity in which they transform some words into their correct parts of speech using the prefix. The examples featured in this lesson plan are...



understand ---> misunderstanding

respect ---> disrespected

cooperate ---> uncooperative



After watching the video and completing the first post-viewing section, there is a second post-viewing part that focuses on some grammar using the conjunction although based on the following quote from the video:



"Although workplace culture and expectations can vary between companies, the basics of business etiquette can be used in almost any kind of workplace."



You can follow everything up with additional discussion material based on the following topics...



- Impact of COVID-19 on business etiquette

- Business etiquette in different countries

- Socializing with colleagues

- Social media and colleagues

- Business lunch etiquette

- Video calling etiquette for business



From the creator’s standpoint, my favorite part of the lesson is the section focusing on the parts of speech and prefixes. I find these types of activities for parts of speech and prefixes in the context of word transformation to be so practical for students and really helps them develop their vocabulary skills.



I also realize that many English language teachers are now teaching in an online environment. For those of you who are, I recommend trying out our interactive lesson plan for it (which is the one attached in this post). The interactive lesson is basically a digital version of the lesson materials that comes equipped with interactive fields for your students to write answers within.



I hope you have a great lesson exploring the basics of business etiquette with your students.



Thanks!
