As an introductory activity make sentences similar to the ones below but using a range of places and activities, give them to the children in the form of sentence cards. The children have to match the correct places with the correct activities. The sentence cards could have pictures of the places and activities on the back.
Show the children some flashcards of different places, the children have to make a sentence - eg:
Teacher: Show a flashcard of the park and ask "Where are you going?"
Child: I am going to the park.
Teacher: What will you do at the park?
Child: I am going to play on the swings.
I hope this helps.

HI , i think a good way ( at least for my students) to practice can be "MIMIC", I USE IT WHEN I WANT TO PRACTICE PRESENT CONTINUOUS.
YOU CAN CREAT THE SENTENCES BEFORE OR YOU CAN ASK THEM TO MAKE THEIR OWN SENTENCES.
THE STUDENTS THEN CHOOSE A SENTENCE ( WRITTEN IN A PIECE OF PAPER) AND HAVE TO MIME IT, IN FRONT OF THE CLASSROOM, AND SO ON.
YOU CAN ALSO MAKE THE SENTENCES USING PICTURES INSTEAD OF VERBS , TO MAKE IT A BIT MORE DIFFICULT.
EX: SHE IS GOING TO EAT A BIG ICE-CREAM.
I HOPE IT HELPS YOU!!

Cely�s idea is great. I suggest a slight variation in order to make the activity meaningful. Ask the student to mime an action but freeze before performing the action. I know I�m not clear enough.
E.g. You or another student whispers �ou are going to eat an ice cream� to the student who�s going to mime the action. He/she should mime going to the shop, buying an ice cream cone and freeze the instant before eating the ice cream.
You can pretend you have a remote control and you stop the scene at that moment.
So the rest of the class or his/her team should guess: She/he is going to eat an ice cream.
Another game: Change places if... you are going to the cinema tomorrow.
I included this game in my last worksheet. Games, activities and projects to teach Clothes. You can adapt most of the ideas to suit other teaching points. You might want to have a look at this game:
Of course I�m not asking you to download it. You can glance through the document while it scrolls down.
I hope it helps you

Another game is that you draw a picture step by step.
First, write "you�re going to..." on the board.
Next, start drawing step by step. At each step, students are guessing what you actually want to draw ("you�re going to draw a tv, you�re going to draw a cup, ..." etc). Shake your head if their answer is wrong and continue drawing. Stop drawing and motion to the phrase on the board whenever students forget to say �you�re going to...�.
If students can guess correctly, nod approvingly and finish the drawing quickly. Then, give compliments to students who can guess correctly like "You�re going to have an A", or "You�re going to be a star" etc.
Hope this is also helpful.

What a fantastic idea puspita. Thank you
I tried this yesterday. My kids loved it. I changed it slightly. We had teams - which ever team guessed correctly had one of their members go up to the board and draw the next picture. It was so funny seeing the children turn to their class mates - and say "I can�t hear you..." when a student forgot to say "you are going to..."
It really gives you an insight into your own teaching when you see your students mimic you!
One of the children drew a picture of me - it was hilarious - I was so pleased to see I had a gigantic smile, and she even drew my funky glasses, I was rather slimmer in her picture as well! I love kids! Thanks for the very fun lesson! |

Glad I can help. Though I must confess that this is not my original idea: someone introduced me to this idea long time ago.

Woww....So fresh ideas.I like them all.And this is what I do.
After teaching "going to" I always make my ss play "prediction game".
I bring different posters to the class especially the ones including scenes from movies.
I distrubute them to the group of Ss.In turn Ss act the scene in front of others.They just stay silent and do not move.But before acting the scene the group decides on a final scene,without mentioning it to the others.
Meanwhile other ss try to guess the next step..If the decided final is found(I mean correct prediction),now it is time for others to act out.
This game is also very funny because it improves students� imagination.Final scenes and predictions are very different and irrelavant from the given scene.So it provokes lots of laughter.
A scene about a fight may finish with love.It is up to students creativity and imagination... |
