Picture the Past
Introduction:
Activity using a fictious event in the past the is built upon by other students.
What is learnt?
Past Simple, Past Perfect and Future in the Past.
How the game is played:
-
Ask three students to come out and help you demonstrate the exercise. Draw a picture on the board of something interesting you have done. Do not speak about it. Student A then writes a past simple sentence about it. Student B writes about what had already happened before the picture action and student C about something that was going to happen, using the appropriate grammar.
- Put the students in fours. Each draws a picture of a real past action of theirs. They pass their picture silently to a neighbour in the foursome who adds a past tense sentence. Pass the picture again and each adds a past perfect sentence. They pass again and each adds a was going to sentence. All this is done in silence with you going round helping and correcting.
- In their fours, they compare the pictures and sentences. The sentences frequently reinterpret the pictures in an amusing way.
