Weekend Activities

A speaking activity for the whole class.



What did you do on the weekend?

Smartboard Activity - Returning Clothes at a Department Store

These are two activities that will help your students practice simple conversations at a department store to return/exchange an item. 

In the first activity students match pictures with problems (too loose, too tight, etc.).
Next, they will arrange a sample conversation between a customer and a sales person and practice reading it.
Finally, students will create new dialogues, using vocabulary from the first activity.

Choosing a TV Program - Role-play

This is a role-play for a group of up to 12 students. If you have fewer students, just choose the roles you like. The students should be divided into two families and each student gets a role. The aim of the role-play is to discuss TV preferences and watch something TOGETHER in the evening. At the end of the activity ask students to present themselves to the opposite group (it is usually a lot of fun) and share the result of their conversation.
