Present simple vs Present continuous Project Ideas
 
Hi guys:
I�ve been working on this topic for a couple of weeks and I don�t want to evaluate the kids with the typical boring written test. What would you suggest? an oral presentation would be great! if you can share any ideas for a project I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance and have a wonderful week!!!

If you want an oral presentation, and if your students have a good level of English you should try, for example, preparing a pair work test or in groups perhaps.
First, give to each group a topic, for example, hobbies, free time activities etc for present simple, and other topics for present continuous (randomly).
Second, make them prepare a dialogue or a short paragraph on the tense and topic given.
Third, make them perform what they did orally.
Prepare a rubric with aspects to consider (preparedness, intonation, correct use of tense, topic, group work etc etc) 

It will take more time than a normal test, it �s more work for you, but if you want to do a different kind of stuff maybe it �ll be great.
You could also use this idea and modify it if you want.

Good luck!
