Activities for "simple present tense"
 
Hi everyone!
 
I am teaching students aged 14-15. And, next week �s topic is simple present tense. I know there are lots of activities ,but as I am new at teaching I appreciate your advice on which one works best, how to present and deal with this topic.
 
I also wonder whether there is a good song that could be used for this subject.
 
Thanks in advance.Hugsss:)

You could use the first half of this ppt and save the second part for past simple. There �s a full lesson plan there for you to follow, hope it �s helpful ;o)

Recently there was a worksheet on the site about the daily routine of a superstar. I thought that could be a good idea to introduce the simple present and keep young teenagers interested.
You could make up the daily routine of someone famous and then compare it to their daily routine. That way you could also introduce questions in the simple present and the negative form.
I hope this helps.
Have a nice Sunday! Wink
