Present Continuous - inappropriate behaviour
The handout itself is not difficult to make. Itīs rather the idea for a fun activity that I am sharing.
Instruction:
1. Before the lesson cut out all the phrases so that each one is on a separate slip of paper.
2. Display the handout on the board and make sure they understand all the phrases. (if students come out with something else, you can have additional empty slips and you can write their suggestions there).
3. Distribute the papers randomly among the students and instruct them what to do, namely:
a) you turn your back to the class and pretend to be writing something on the board. When you don’t look, the students mime the activities on the papers and at the same time observe their mates. When they guess what activities some of them are doing, The inform you about it using Present Continuous (e.g. Excuse me, mister, Jim is using the mobile phone.);
b) you turn around, pretend to chasten Jim, and thank the informer;
c) you repeat the procedure.
d) you can the most active students in the end
Summary:
The activity involves practising new phrases and using Pr. Cont. Don’t worry that it will promote some unwanted behaviour like informing against friends. Everybody knows that it’s not for real, but for fun. And fun it is
