							| You can ask your students what they usually do at the weekend and write it on the board. E.g. :  go to the swimming pool, visit my grandmother etc. - write let�s say 10 examples. Then one pupil chooses only one activity(whichever s/he wants)  but tells nobody which one. The others have to find the activity by using DO : Do you usually go to the swimming pool ? The pupil who guesses the right answer chooses  the next activity. It is usually fun :-) |  5 May 2010

							| You can play �The Coffeepot �. It �s an oral game to practice questions and short answers. I can�t remember where or who taught me but it works. A student choose a verb (ie. wash my face) and the class has to guess it asking: "Do you coffeepot in the morning? When do you coffeepot? Do you coffeepot everyday? Do you coffeepot at home/at school? and so on, until the class using the information guess the word. It �s funny and students practice a lot.   I hope it helps you. |  5 May 2010
