Playing games is also a good way to learn.
You could cut up time cards and activity cards and distribute them among the class.
Each student should get a time card and an activity card. You can then ask
� �what were you doing at 7:00 a.m. this morning � �. The person then looks at the activity card and gives the activity. e.g. I was getting ready for school.
You could also ask questions such as � �what was I doing when you entered the class � � etc.
As Aliciapc pointed out, there are a lot of worksheets on the site which will help you.

Hi, I haven �t checked out the link aliciapc sent, but here is what I do. Give a reading passage and youtube clips about Titanic (past simple focus) then move on to p c. I put the students in twos and give out action picture cards - sleeping, dancing, eating, swimming etc and they have to ask each other, �What were you doing when the ship hit the iceberg? � Then into groups of four, �What was he/she/they doing.... � etc. You could also try it with a murder mystery, one is a cop and one is a suspect. �What were you doing when Mr Smith was shot? � and they have to make up an alibi.
