Present Perfect Pictionary
Students practice the present perfect
by playing a pictionary game. One student draws on the board, and the
other students try to guess the word.
Level: Elementary
Topic: For / since
Grammar: Present perfect
Time: 20 minutes
Preparation
- On the board, write I have at the top and for/since at the bottom.
Procedure
1
Ask the students to think to themselves about something
they have been doing for a period of time, such as playing an
instrument, playing a sport, studying, a hobby, an activity in their
hometown, etc.
2
Ask the students to get a piece of paper and write one sentence about the activity starting with I have and ending with for/since. Tell the students to keep their sentence a secret.
For example:
I have played the piano for six years.
3
Divide the class into two groups.
4
Ask students to number each person in the group.
5
Ask student #1 from both groups to go to the board. Student #1 writes the second half of his or her sentence beginning with for or since.
For example:
for six years.
6
Then, Student #1 draws the activity on the board. The student cannot speak nor write the word on the board.
7
The first group to correctly guess the activity gets a point.
For example:
You have played the piano for six years.
8
Continue with Student #2, and so on until each student has had a chance to draw.
9
The group with the most points is the winner.
