    WORKSHEETS, ACTIVITIE S & GA ME S What was everybody doing?

    Activity Type Introduction


    Miming, writing and Here is an entertaining past continuous game for students to play
    speaking activity in class.

    Procedure
    Focus
    Begin by doing a quick TPR (Total Physical Response) activity to
    Past continuous
    review the language on the cards.

    Tell the class to stand up. Shout out one of the activities on the
    Aim
    cards. All the students then do the mime or action. Repeat until
    To say what people were you have covered all the activities. You could also play a game of
    doing using the past 'Simon Says' to introduce the activities on the cards.
    continuous.
    Next, divide the students into four teams.

    Preparation Tell the students that they are going to play a game to practice
    the past continuous tense to describe an ongoing action in the
    Make one copy of
    past.
    the cards and cut as
    indicated. Each student
    Ask one student from the first team to go out of the classroom.
    should have one card.
    Give each student in the class an activity card.
    Level
    Tell them that when you say 'go', they should begin miming or
    Pre-intermediate (A2) doing the action on their card and continue until you say 'stop'.

    Say 'go'. When everyone is miming or doing their action, open


    Time the door and ask the student outside to come in. Let the actions
    30 minutes continue for a few more seconds, then say 'stop'. Ask the student
    who went out of the class what everybody was doing when he or
    she came in.

    The student scores one point for their team for each correct past
    continuous sentence, e.g. 'Sofia was dancing. Mark was jumping up
    and down, etc'.

    Then, a student from the second team goes out. Everyone swaps
    activity cards and the process is repeated. This continues until
    each team has had a chance to play.

    For the final round, collect in the cards and redistribute them.
    Have everyone do the actions on their cards again without anyone
    leaving the room. Then, tell the teams that they must now try to
    remember and write down what the students in the other teams
    were doing.

    When the teams have finished writing, ask them to swap papers
    with another team and go through all the sentences. Teams score
    one point for each correct sentence. The team with the most
    points at the end of the game wins.
