hi dear
  in my opinion you �d better choose football topic "have you ever been to New camp?
Have you ever met Christiano Ronaldo? Have you ever taken a picture with? and it depends on the age of ur students. Hope that u ll find it useful.bye

Why dont you give them an open topic based on their  first experience in somenthing... i dont  know your students age but you can make a list and let them choose.  for example your first dance, first kiss, first boyfriend/girl

You could ask your class to choose a company and prepare the necessary steps that are required in opening up the company. 

Such as:.
 
The architect has already drawn up the plans but the building has not been completed yet.
(find plans of a building and show what has already been done).
 
We have already hired a Manager. She has already worked for IBM and she has had to  previously deal with many situations when opening up a new company.  (find a picture of an assistant and show some tasks that have already been accomplished by this person)
 
You could explain how the company has recently launched a new product.
 
(find a picture of a product and explain what has already  been done to promote the product and what hasn �t been done yet. 
 
You could also have them do a presentation on a famous person.
 
Elizabeth Soso  hasn �t been in movies for many years.  We haven �t seen her star in any new movies in a long time.  It has been 20 years since her last movie. 
She hasn �t lived in New York city for many years.  She has recently been assigned to star in a new movie etc. 
 
They could tell what the star has already done in her life, what she has done recently and what she hasn �t done in many years.
 
For life experiences you could do much of the same showing what they have already done and what they haven�t done in their lives yet.  They can also speak about people and places they haven�t seen in a long time.
 
I hope this helps. 
 
I had my class do a powerpoint presentation on the past tense.  They had to choose a country and speak about what they saw and did.  They also included some general information about the country.  It was a great success because the class also learned a lot about different countries.
